Conversations in the Twilight Zone

It’s supposed to be pretty stormy here later today. Rain, lightning and high winds.

We have to pick up Skids today after work. It’s an hr drive and the traffic is pretty bad after work on Friday’s.

I told SO on the way to work that I could take a couple of hrs early off work today if he wanted. Maybe we could avoid the bad weather and some of the traffic.

Around 10am he starts texting me.

(SO is a contractor on base and can’t escort anyone on base with him)

SO: Should I leave and go get kids or wait until after work (he’s talking about going alone)
ME: I don’t understand what you intend on doing with them until after work. You can’t bring them on base
SO: No, but I can go to the beach (Our base is right on the beach)
ME: But you still can’t come back and get me
SO: I’m pretty sure you can walk to the gate
ME: I’m not walking to the gate in pouring rain. They can wait at their moms house until WE get there
SO: It’s not raining or showing even a cloud in the sky

At this point I start ignoring his texts. It made no sense. He needs to leave work and go get kids early because it’s going to storm but when I say I’m not walking to the gate in pouring rain, all of a sudden it’s clear sky’s (Which it was but isn’t any longer). AND he needs to get them because it’s going to storm but then take them to the beach.

I live in the Twilight Zone.

I think Disney Dads lose like 25 IQ points when the subject of their wonderful children comes up.
