Dapper is as Dapper Does
October 4, 2007
It’s been one of those days. Those days.
I woke up to find my wireless router not working. But hey, without mobile access to the web, maybe I’d get a few things done around here.
Me and the gremlins went a round during school about their attitudes. Again. But hey, it sunk in for the time being and we finished our work without incident.
I’ve chewed most of my nails down to the nubs because my file is pretty much worthless and I just can’t shake the nerves and doomsday feeling that’s plagued me all day. Thank you, hormones. You’re the BEST!
But true to my motto that there’s something to laugh at everyday, I give you this.
He’s looking very dapper today, no? That’s what I thought when Socrates brought him downstairs after his first nap. I asked, “Why did you get his hair wet, cute as it is?”
Socrates gave me a bashful sideglance. “It’s my spit.”
I examined the wet, shiny hair of The Cuteness and mumbled something unintelligible towards Socrates about never desecrating the head of The Cuteness again or I would take exactly $5.37 out of his money jar as punishment.
That doesn’t seem unintelligible when I write it or when you read it, but trust me. I was running for the camera when I said it. Because even with his hair slicked down with Big Brother’s Spittle (available now at your local Hair Port!) The Cuteness couldn’t be more dapper.

Give new meaning to the words “Spit and Polish”! And you appropriately named him. He is “The Cuteness”.

Ewwww, you’ve got a spit-head!
I remember when I was a kid and my mom would lick her finger then wipe something off my face with it. YUCK! It still gives me the creeps thinking about it!

He’s pretty darn cute. Maybe you could bottle it and make a fortune.

He is precious (those beautiful eyes) and this was sooooo funny. What a great story to have and show to your kids when they get older (spit - HA!). I enjoy your writing - thanks for the laugh and cute pictures!
