Booga went to homecoming this week. But it wasn't the only thing he did.
He was very handsome; he wore a brown suit with a striped tie and his dad's good shoes and with his ever present sunglasses he looked like someone from "Men In Black".
Only it was "Men in Brown".
He was asked by a group of kids that felt like it was an opportunity to give the intellectually disabled kids in their school the opportunity to go to homecoming…Just like everyone else.
Booga actually had a great time even though he told his teacher (who happened to be chaperone that night) that he needed to go home at 9:30 sharp. Like his coach would turn into a pumpkin or something like that.
He told us, as he stumbled into the car, that he asked a girl to dance and that they danced, however, he didn't kiss her.
According to his sister, this is one of his goals in life…To kiss a girl.
The other thing Booga did this week that totally blew me away, was go and connect his computer to the internet all by himself.
This I wasn't expecting simply because it's a chore to take the card to the other computer and connect to the internet. But he did it. And the internet didn't suffer from it; although he hit YouTube pretty hard.
My husband and I went to the store and picked up a few things and left Boog on his own. When we came back I looked in my office and the internet card was gone.
I opened Boogs bedroom door and there he was on YouTube. Watching movie clips. Apparently his father has seen him "googling" stuff as well. I said to him, "Hey, what's going on here?
He apologized profusely and I said, "I don't care if you get on the internet. But the next time you want to get on you need to tell mom first and then she can get the card for you and you can connect it." Simply because Booga goes about getting the card-and anything else for that matter- like he's killing snakes.
Interesting week.
It proves to be more so with the fact that I have to deal with the disaster they call DHS about some things that are unresolved about Boog.
Pray for me.
