The Midg

This is a story I typed about 1 month ago and didn't finish. Enjoy....
-------------------------------------------
We have taken to calling Henry the Midg, which as Erin Like to point out is short for midget. (Get it, short for midget.... short.... midget... yea I know) So as National scrap book day approached, and Erin Launched into her mission to make sure the CK Message Board was having some fun, I was on Midg duty. No big deal (actually it's a little deal, get it... midg...) I've been itching for some time with the little man. It good for me, building up my parenting chops.

So I decided to take the little ma on some errands. We hit best buy, Walmart, and home depot. He always a big hit in stores. Especially if we have his shades on. Ladies can't resist the munchkin when his shades are on. The problem is keeping the hands off of him. I guess he takes after his old man that way.

So... we were at our last stop, home depot. I've got a variety of items large and small and I head to the check out. It turns out that I hit the lane with a little person in a wheel chair checking people out. He comments on the baby and I say " Yea, it's may day out with the mi...". Oh shit. I can't say midg, that's short for midget, that would be offensive. Err, think fast, Little Man - no, dwarf - no, munchkin - no, shit every thing I call Hank is some type of joke on little people.

Talk about situations that I wasn't prepared for. Baby's should come with one of those warning labels, "Warning, don't nick name your you kid a version of a little person name. It'll screw you one day." So I finally had to come up with an end of my sentence. Sweating now, I say "It's my day out with the mi... man". Hanks gotta love it, baby to man in less then 3 months. Thankfully my faux pas went completely unnoticed. He finished checking me out and gave me by receipt. I say thanks and head out. As I walk out Henry starts to fuss and the cashier says, have a good one, I hope the imp behaves for ya.

Imp... that a good one. I hadn't thought of that.
