“Daddy…You Smell”

Last night I slept on the sofa.
It’s not because I don’t love my wife.
It’s not because we are not getting along.
I just had some ferocious gas.
So to the sofa I went with every intention not to place my wife in one more dutch oven.
It’s shouldn’t be fun while she is asleep but I do it to her anyways.
:)
Around 1:15 am the 6 year old came downstairs.
“Daddy I love you”
It’s like she can sense exactly where I am in the house.
So she crawled up under my blanket and warmed my belly up.
Around 1:30 am the 5 year old came downstairs.
“Daddy…You smell”
And then she walked back upstairs and got in bed with Heather.
That’s it.
No, “Daddy I’m scared”.
No, “Daddy I’m thirsty”.
All I got was “Daddy…You smell.”
Confused and defeated, I spooned up as the back spoon with my 6 year old angel of a daughter and tried to figure out where I had gone wrong in raising the 5 year old.
Right as I was figuring it out…
The 6 year old farted on my belly, in her sleep.
I smiled…and fell asleep.

I love my life.
Los

    Welcome to my world. My oldest is 14 so I have been farted on, peed on, pooped on and puked on by BOTH of my wonderful girls. :)

    I'm sitting in St.Arbucks laughing out loud at my laptop while a larger than expected contingent of High Schoolers are looking at me like I've got three heads…

    Funny

    Just emailed my wife:

    Awesome. We're not alone.

    Except I wouldn't sleep on the sofa just because I'm venting a furnace. It's proof I have the fire in my belly.

    and that is Carlos being true to the mission statement of Rafamuffin Soul! Thanks for the authenticity, you remind us we are all simply human…..

  43. Erica 31 January 2009 at 12:00 pm #

    brilliant. that was hilarious. it reminded me of my sister–when she was little she'd always fart when she laughed suddenly or in her sleep. your anecdote made me giggle out loud =)
    it's sweet to see that you have some care for the well-being of your wife while she sleeps ;)

  44. LeAnn 31 January 2009 at 12:00 pm #

    How funny! My husband farts ALL the time (ok, maybe not all the time…I just notice it a lot). I wish he would take a page from your book and go sleep on the couch every once in a while so I'm not subjected to his gas and it's "lovely" aroma. Anyway….this story had me literally laughing out loud. Thanks for sharing.
