Wishing I Would Be Treated More Like An Adult!

So Mommy and Daddy started out the weekend pleased to let me watch the upstairs TV in the morning.  They summoned me so we could all watch a rocket launch as a family, with all the rain I figured it would be us just watching movies together snuggling.

Strangely as the day progressed and they checked social media on their phones they seemed a lot more inclined to allow me to head down to the basement and totally loosened the leash on how much I could play on my iPad.  Well, nothing makes a smart young boy more suspicious when they seem to want to shield me and when I catch images like this on TV when I come up from the basement for dinner and am only offered vague explanations and teaching moments it just makes me more curious and a little concerned.  I appreciate more screen time with my favorite YouTube personalities but it was beginning to seem more like a smoke screen or at least a red herring.  I wish someone would just level with me for once in my life!

The fact that an EMERGENCY ALERT came across my social media feeds TWICE didn't inspire confidence!

Something is suspicious here.

My Daddy Is Cringe!

So in the vocabulary of my Generation who has grown-up on Memes and YouTube and is now dealing with the Corona Virus my Daddy is officially Cringe!

First of all it was very depressing to see that the people who are technically the Elders of My Generation are not taking social distancing at the park today seriously.  All through the week all they seemed to want to do is to strip down to as little clothes as possible and drink beer and get as close to each other as possible!

You would think that my Daddy would act like an adult and lecture them but all he did was take a beer out of his backpack and take a Selfie like he was some sort of YouTube Flexer.

I will create a Meme to tell him how stupid he looks.

Take The L!

Calming Myself With Ivar's Comfort Food

Daddy is determined that we get out and have adventures even if we are going to have to be careful.  Bike rides seem great in principal but all of a sudden we needed to get lunch.  Fremont seemed like the logical destination but when we got off the Burke-Gilman Trail everything seemed set-up to remind me that we are in the midst of a Pandemic.

It was too much for me!  I just wanted to get back to something comforting that will always feel like home to me!  I'm not even 10, this is all very concerning for a child!

Oh the normalcy of the Ivar's Fish Bar and a warm bowl of Chowder even if we had to go to a secluded park as a precaution.  Thank you Mr. Haglund, you probably never expected in 2020 how important you seafood would be to a little Boy!

How Will I Describe This To My Children . . . ?

Well Seattle has partially opened up.  I can walk through a park now but we aren't at a time where I can just hang-out with other kids, you have to keep moving!

Eventually my parents say I will get to reflect back on these times and tell my kids what I endured and I know exactly how I will describe my time . . .

. . . Lots of sitting on uncomfortable rocks and street corners to avoid places people with Corona Virus might have touched.

Tiger King's Strange Hold on My Parents

So Mommy and Daddy have been pretty bored during the Quarantine.  Mommy has her Podcasts and Daddy has his Basement and Beer.  Generally they just seem bored right now.  Well not tonight . . .

I was intrigued at first.  My parents say I have a "Cat Allergy"  and am not allowed a Kitten but this man has hundreds and when he's not playing with them he is shooting his gun and blowing things up.  

It isn't that I didn't appreciate learning a little about Joe Exotic it is just that I was disturbed by the hold he had over my parents.  As the hours flew by Mommy and Daddy just became more fixated on his convoluted life with his strange feuds and the shadier people he seemed to be associating with.

Usually I would just use my parents being distracted as an opportunity to play more video games but after a couple hours I felt obligated to just put myself to bed.  If Mommy and Daddy are going to watch a Netflix series way past all of our bedtimes I can't be expected to be a 9 year old Parent.  I can only take responsibility for my own well being!

I guess thing didn't really turn out that well for Joe in the end.  I bet when he was a boy his parents didn't tuck him in either.  Just saying . . . 

Blogging Because I'm Bored!

Granted I haven't posted on my Blog for a while and why should I ?!?  I was having way too much fun being a Little Boy.  I know a lot has happened.  Trump got elected, I started school, riding a bike,  I started going to the park on my own and got introduced to Minecraft and PewDiePie.  The desire to Blog just seemed antiquated and then came this . . .

Yeah, no school, no visiting with friends.  I feel like I've truly grown-up now that I've learned life can hit you with a Corona Virus curve ball.

As you can see I'm not exactly the fat, dumb and happy Baby that started the Blog, now life has hardened me.  Sadly, when you become wiser you don't always become happier.

Yep, my reality has changed, empty streets and parks, no physical interaction with my friends going on a month now.

Dad has been taking it hard also, his playground is closed also and he has never been the same!  

So yeah, as long as COVID 19 is hiding out there I have to keep a lower profile at home so this Blog will be a way to vent a bit.

I will strive to maintain the quality of my Blog from the previous years.  It just might have more of an  EDGE now!

Remember, practice social distancing and wash your hands!
