Trooper’s application is still going through the long arduous road for him to become big brother to Tobias. I just hope Tobias doesn’t have a thing for lettuce like Trooper does. Goodness, what a couple of terror twins those two would make, or should I say a mixed salad? All we need to do is throw Smuggler in the mix and voila, fresh garden salad! The poor kid smells like vinegar all the time. You’d think he’d learn by now that vinegar is for training, not for bathing! Hopefully he won’t be like his Uncle Mohan and decide vinegar tastes good. The horror!
It looks like my application for some reason went through rather quickly to become Smuggler’s big brother. There seemed to be a bit of a problem *cough* with Apollo’s application. He was very excited to be Smuggler’s big brother, but there seemed to be a bit of criminal history that they agency uncovered. Something about a lawn guy, a couple of stitches. I think it was all a misunderstanding. Apollo told me that the case was under appeal and that the charges were going to be thrown out and his record expunged. In the meantime, the Big Brother/Big Sister Program stated that Apollo’s application would be put on hold until these matters were taken care of. It looks like Uncle Midas is steppin’ in!
BB decided that our first outing should be to visit the frat house, errr I mean the Lion’s den so Smuggler could meet his Uncle Amol, Kahn, Dinari and Malikai and play some water polo. I dragged along Mohan just to get him out of the house. The girls had him doing way too many “honey do” projects. The poor fellow looks like he dropped a few pounds. I think he might have even missed a few meals from all the honey do projects Emma, Nadia and the other girls had him doing. He did look a bit on the thin side. *cough* ;-)
Smuggler was a hit with the boys. They all loved him dearly. Kahn taught him the “pull my finger” trick. He thought that was the coolest thing until he heard all the boys “sing”. He was in complete awe. He was in the pool, his ears were all askew (quite cute actually) and he stood there in stunned silence when he heard their beautiful singing.
Right after the last rattle of their roars, someone yelled “DOODY!” Next thing I know, everyone is swimming for their life out of the pool, except Mohan. Everyone for sure thought it was Mohan that left the doody…you all know how his tub is…I’m not telling you anything you DON’T already know *cough*. After I dragged Smuggler out of the pool, we all looked and there was Mohan, swimming over to the doody and he picks it up and put it in his mouth! We just couldn’t believe it! Mohan said, “mmm still fresh”. I covered Smuggler’s eyes at this horrid site. Mohan began laughing and said, “Caddyshack anyone?” With that we all laughed so hard we fell back into the pool. Smuggler didn’t understand, so that night, BB and I popped some popcorn and showed Smuggler the classic movie Caddyshack. Poor lil fella laughed so hard he said to me, “Pull my finger Uncle Midas”.
I do believe he is going to fit in very well.
Peace~
