The Things I'll Do for a Quarter! - GoFuckYourself.com

Donny · 09-28-2005, 12:19 AM

My ex wife lives in the home we owned together when we were married. A month or so ago she decided she'd tear out all the grass in the back yard and replace it with brick (at my expense of course). She just thought she'd water it all down to get it soft and then take her hoe and dig the dirt out. She needed 6 inches of depth to then add sand back in and lay the bricks.

After beginning the job she realized it wasn't going to be as easy as she'd thought. So who does she call to help? Of course!

Do you honestly think I like to do real work? Hell no! Have you seen me in person? I'd rather work my right hand lifting a burger to my mouth or stroking all 5.5 inches God gave me than doing REAL work.

I told her that if I was going to help I'd rent a roto-tiller to make things a bit easier. If you've ever roto-tilled anything you know that it's still not EASY, but it's EASIER than a standard hoe.

Still, I wasn't looking forward to it. And it showed in my voice. But while talking on the phone, my son, who always wants to know who momma's talking to, asked her to pass me a message.

"Daddy, if you help momma I'll give you a quarter!"

He's 5. And that's what she pays him each day to do various chores like feeding the cat or keeping his room clean.

A full day's pay? Of COURSE I'll be there! And so it comes as no surprise that I spent my day roto-tilling. Shovelling dirt into a wheelbarrow, loading it into my truck, and dumping it at my ex-father-in-law's house.

I just couldn't pass up that kind of money!

As a new father i totally get that - the situation sucks but you did the right thing in regards to your son ;)

phonesex · 09-28-2005, 12:25 AM

Donovan, why do you even bother? If my ex called me about something like that I would tell her to figure it out herself.

My son offered me a quarter.

phonesex · 09-28-2005, 12:26 AM

Thats something I could never figure out about women. They always call looking for something to their benefit.

A good dad deed!

phonesex · 09-28-2005, 12:27 AM

Your son is smart but I bet your ex is manipulating him to say things like that.

Nah, she wasn't. Not this time. She really doesn't do that. Belinda can attest to that, too.

BoNgHiTtA · 09-28-2005, 12:31 AM

Fuck that, I would rota-till a 6 foot hole and accidently push 'mommy' into it concrete and all.

Nope she doesn't do that. His son is just very thoughtful

I have a great son. And for an ex wife, I could definitely do worse.

Hope that doesn't put you in a higher tax bracket now.

tristan_D · 09-28-2005, 06:17 PM

I'm sure the quarter was nothing compared to the smile on your son's face. Good dad!

Spunky · 09-28-2005, 06:20 PM

A little hard work never hurt anybody

PixeLs · 09-28-2005, 07:11 PM

I am pretty sure it's not the quarter that made you do all those stuff.

You have such a cute kid.

Yes, I do indeed. I'm quite a lucky man.

And you're right... it wasn't the quarter. It was the smile. And the confidence that he knew he could ask his daddy for help and not be disappointed.

Yes, that smile is everything.

A few people have been lucky enough to read the private blog I keep to him. Readers of that blog understand perfectly.

Yes, it's amazing. I remember taking joy in changing dirty diapers. Before him my stomach was so weak that a nasty smell could make me puke. But just knowing that smell came from my own flesh and blood and knowing that I wanted him clean.... I never once even got CLOSE to puking.

Fizzgig · 09-29-2005, 12:20 PM

Don't tell my husband, or he'll start expecting quarters too!

Sly · 09-29-2005, 12:27 PM

Why exactly did she want to replace grass with brick?

Nice, warm, fresh, lively grass. Now cold, hard, dead cement.

ServerGenius · 09-29-2005, 12:36 PM

You took a quarter from your son? Shame on you

Pornopat · 09-29-2005, 01:06 PM

I will give you two quarters for my back yard.
You wont just get a smile from me to go with that.
You will get a big grin.
