As promised, I'm coming with a more positive vibe today. Even though my surgery is 48 hours away I thought I'd share with everyone that the weakest spot in my heart of hearts is shown publicly whenever I see little kids. They cause me to ignore anyone that I'm talking to so I can open my eyes up and smile at them, wave hello, or make silly faces at them.
I have several friends who have kids and I'm sure most of them (the kids) don't even remember me, but I like to think I'm Uncle DeRonnie to all of them. My good friends in NY have given me the name God-Daddy D (I'm their daughter's God-Father), which would have been a good DJ name had I not chosen 2degrees. I have another God-Son in Saginaw and one in Boston (I really need to check in on them).
Three summers ago, I used to go over to a friends house in Atlanta and watch Dora The Explorer with her daughter. That show is amazingly educational. When I was a kid the cartoons didn't teach you much besides how to embarrass a coyote, rooster, martian, hunter, or cowboy. I guess Sesame Street did teach me how to count to 12.
All that being said, I'm in no rush to be a parent, but do really want to have kids of my own one day. Hopefully, my five surgeries will keep me glued together long enough to run around and play with them. For all of you with kids who are reading this, please do not take this as an offer to babysit. I like to play with kids for an hour or so and then give them back.
So the next mix is music that you can listen to with the kids. No parental advisory on this one. :-)
Oh.. and that adorable little one pictured above is me....(not my daughter - as I've been asked several times).
