Esplanade

We went to the mall this weekend! And not any half-ass mall, either. We went to the Esplanade Mall in Kenner, which is the Good Mall in New Orleans.

Everybody has a kid. Did you know that? Everyone! The strollers were bumper to bumper. John enjoyed his trip, riding in his stroller and giving everyone the eye. When we'd stop for too long he'd yell. Not crying, just yelling. Like, "hey, let's keep it moving! Nothing to see here! Move along!" Maybe he'll be a traffic cop.

We stopped at one kid's clothes shop with two cute girls working behind the counter and a TV showing kid-centric stuff. I stopped in front of the TV to see if John wanted to watch. He started flirting with the girls.

That's my boy.

And Sunday was Father's Day! My first! I've never really celebrated, true, but now I think it's a fine thing. Sonya gave me a bag full of stuff - underwear, gum, a new toothbrush, a frame with a picture of the kid in it. John, for his part, seemed to know it was my holiday. He clung to me all day long like a friendly little monkey.

For those of you that don't know: yes, we've already arranged a marriage for John. It just seemed easier. besides, when we close the deal they have to give us two cows, twenty chickens, and a flat-screen computer monitor. How could we say no to an offer like that?

And yes, the girl is cute. So don't worry.

As for you, mother in-law to-be: yes, you should worry. He loves women and he flirts constantly. All the little girls at school want to kiss him. Waitresses, checkers, the women I see when I walk the dog. They all get a big smile.

The last time we were in Memphis he was working very hard at taking off one of our friend's shirts. You should have seen the look of concentration of his face as he yanked at her collar!

"Just...just hold still...let me get this top off...almost there..."
