Wit Damages

12:35pm
  The kids want to go home already. June Mae was right, I do watch too many family movies.Drexel seems to be the only one enjoying the experience but that just because Drexel is Drexel. Martin has been texting and being rude not even minding his younger ones,Justin has been throwing a tantrum ever since we step foot in the car, Jo Jo has been whining and complaining all day, Tim Tim hasn't said a word to me since i convinced June Mae to let me take them camping in the woods.

     This has happened before. I would plan and pack up to go camping but we will end up going home and the children would win again or i would stay and force them to enjoy the experience, force them, force us to bond. Tonight, I'm choosing the latter.I am determined that this is the last time I'll be the new daddy to the kids.I am giving my extra to make sure this one works this time.My extra.
   "Henry! Henry!" Jo Jo yelled from inside the tent. Hearing that little girl call me by my first name was doing the most terrible wonders to my stomach. I could not blame her though , i had given her the invitation to call me by my first name. That was my mistake. Can you blame me though? It was that awkward time when i was dating their mom and i wanted her to get the impressions that  the kids like me.
   ''Yes Jo Jo , i thought you and your brothers were sleeping"
   "I know.... I was....we were really.....but-"
   "But what? Then why are you here?"
   "Because i don't know where Martin is "
  "What?"
I was already standing up from my relaxed position on my lounge chair. I was just taking a breather from another yet horrific camping experience.While we were fishing , Martin almost drowned, when we picking berries, June Mae got sick and had to go to the hospital leaving me with her ...lovely children.
  What made me panic with Martin was that he was always trying to prove a point and for his young tween mind there are no boundaries when it comes to proving a point.
