YerSauce Avoided His Readers Last Night.

It was a moment that had to be measured and studied before actually writing about such�or recovered from�.

You see, there is a little boy who lives in my house. He�ll be five and ten months on the fifteenth or 5 and 5/6ths�

Anyway.

This little ginger-haired lad had never actually felled his dad until last even.

Now. Your diarist of record is 6�4�ish. 225ish. The boy is just about 60 lbs. And he is skinny.

So he didn�t just bump into his father.

He was spinning like a dervish in the front yard last evening�and his dad was visiting with the-neighbors-of-the-most-hideous-green-colored-house-on-the-planet. It kind of finds a middling between mold and neon green. Those neighbors also have a West Virginia State Flower In Their Yard.

A B.U.D. Sometimes known as a Big Ugly Dish.

But kind and neighborly noise was occurring from DaSauce� and listening periodically happened too. And his boy was spinning. And he was spinning with a half full liter bottle of juice in his outstretched hand� Round and round. And the conversation was kind of eye glazing. And then the little lad took a stagger-step and smacked his pop in the tenderest testes on this (ahem) blue ball with the outstretched and fast moving bottle.

Down goes DaDiarist. DaKiddo is looking a cross between deeply confused and mortified at what he correctly perceives as pain.

When YerSauceLikeAndNowNaddedDadPerson was able to talk again, he explained what had occurred to both the neighbor who was trying not to laugh and a son who looked completely and deeply shocked.

You see the boy has never been hit in the testicles.

And his response?

�You wouldn�t want to sock me back down here would you?�

His father looked agog.

And he sat on the ground and made a motion like fist to groin�

�You wouldn�t want to hit me back, right?�

�HECK, NO!� Shouted his father.

�Oh. Good. Because if it hurts that much you could you know to make us even.�

�Where would you EVER get the idea that anyone would hit you for hitting them by accident? Look, pal. If someone told you that at school? It was just a bad idea. Thumping someone back if they did something to you by mistake? Really dumb. Ever heard the adage two wrongs don�t make a right? It means that if you do something poorly and I do it poorly because you did? We still won�t have gotten anything done, got it?�

�Yeah. Like two positive magnets pushing.�

�OK. Then. So. NO! I will not hit you back for hitting me by mistake and I truly hope you understand that it is a really dumb idea.�

�Yeah, Dad. But it really looked like it hurt.�

�It still does, pal.�

�I�m really sorry I hitcher gone nads dad.�

�It�s OK, pal� Just watch where you are swinging stuff, alright?�

�Yeah. Cuz if I had been watching? I would have seen myself hit you in the crotch and stopped it.�
