I have
this beautiful child, he is a special needs kid so he’s often difficult to work
with, the communication is limited, and he’s ability to obey instructions is
severely lacking. But regardless, he is a beautiful, kind and funny kid.
I am
only bringing him up now because he has just started this new habit in the
water, where he has to say, or yell, a
very specific phrase before he will start swimming. Now this phrase must be
uttered before every lap, when he turns around at the other end of the pool, and
if, for some reason, he stops in the middle of the lap (probably to fix his
leaking goggles).
This
phrase, whether you are familiar with it or not, is already annoying me to an
unnatural amount. It is:
“3, 2,
1, Let it Rip!”
To
those people with kids (or those youngish ones who had an awesome childhood),
this phrase is used in competitive bay blading, before the thingo in the doodad
is pulled and the spin top is released into the stagey-thing. (I totally know
what I am talking about.)
The
first two or three times he said this, it was cute and funny and got me all
nostalgic about kid’s toys. But two weeks, and three hundred repeats later, I
am
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
sick of it. You have no idea.
It’s
not like I can tell him off, because ever since he started this infuriating
habit he has complained less about swimming because he’s somehow made this fun
connected to this game that he obviously plays (otherwise this whole thing make
zero sense).
So,
hopefully thing little rant will fuel my annoyance for just long enough and I
can be calm and teach him normally next week. J
I
always hope for the best anyway.
