How I Failed Five Today

Got him a string launcher as an early birthday present, when he really wanted a Duo Launcher. Next time I get him an early birthday present, it would be good to double-check with him. To make sure I get it right.

Lyrics to Live By

LYRICS TO LIVE BY

Do you remember/
when we were strung out/
Eating top ramen and/
macaroni and cheese/
We would get so lost/
in that basement room/
And let Otis Redding/
sing us to sleep.

I wish I had one more life.

I don't want to be wasted/
I don't want to live inside/
this daydream anymore/
I just want to be happy again.

"Otis Redding"

How I Failed Five Today

Wizard 101 shut off right in the middle of an important battle. It was probably because I installed it wrong.

How I Failed Five Today

Got Sicilian pizza for dinner. He doesn't like when you can see the sauce underneath the cheese. And it's too thick.

Lyrics to Live By

Sometimes I wish I lived in an Airstream/
Homemade curtains, lived just like a gypsy/
Break a heart, roll out of town/
'Cause gypsies never get tied down.


Sometimes I wish I lived by a pier/
In a lighthouse with a chandelier/
I'd watch everybody's ships come in/
And then I'd sail away with them.

How I Failed Five Today

Wouldn't let him shoot his Beyblades across my hardwood floor. They won't leave scratches. They're hardly made of metal at all.

How I Failed Five Today

Wouldn't sit with him all day and look at pet lizard options on the computer. But Aunt Erin said he had to do research before he got a new pet!

How I Failed Five Today

Couldn't figure out how to "free roam" on the PS3 racing car game he was playing. This will be a perpetual failure.

How I Failed Five

Couldn't find his blue pouch that holds his Beyblade tools. I mean, I'm the one who put it in his desk, so I should know where it is.

Lyrics To Live By

Today I don't feel like doing anything/
I just want to lay in my bed/
Don't feel like picking up my phone/
So leave a message at the tone/
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything/
Nothing at all.

How I Failed Five

Let him swim in the pool after the chemicals had been added, and he got a really bad rash. I mean, not IMMEDIATELY after the chemicals had been added, but my bad.
