More from the mouth of Big Daddy

Darryl and I had our second class last night. Big Daddy and his significant other were a few minutes late, and I was a bit hopeful that they wouldn't show up. But no, they came, and this time, Big Daddy was wearing a skull cap/'do rag.

Big Daddy didn't have as many questions this week, but he did have one moment of, um, "brilliance."

The teacher was telling us about what happens immediately after the baby is born, and she mentioned that the baby gets a shot of Vitamin K very soon after birth.

Big Daddy raised his hand and said, "Yeah...speaking of shots, did you hear about that wrestler that killed his wife and kid, but he was giving his son steroid shots?" (What a connection there, dude--Vitamin K, steroids...virtually the same thing, right?) Several of the men (Darryl included) got up immediately and left the room because they were about to lose it. The teacher just quickly acknowledged the tragedy and then dismissed all of us for a break.

Another thing about Big Daddy--he is constantly leaving the room. He'll stay for about fifteen minutes and then leave for about ten. Last night, his eyes were half-closed most of the night. I really wonder what he's doing when he leaves the room...smoking a joint, maybe? Odd.
