This morning I received a phone call from the Demon shortly after I arrived at work. It went a little something like this.
Demon: Um, all of the seventh graders got soaked! Can you bring me some dry clothes?
Me: How did you all get soaked?!
Demon: We went to the library.
Me: What?! Why would you walk to the library?!
it's pouring sheets of rain...Demon: I don't know but we're all soaked. Can you bring me some gym shorts?
Me: Huh? If you're wet you need warm dry clothes.. I'll bring you sweats.
Demon: I'd rather have shorts.
Me: I'd rather NOT to have to walk out in this weather to bring you anything.. so you choose.
Demon: Sweats.
Me: How did you all get soaked?!
Demon: We went to the library.

Now.. I left work. Walking to the car wasn't too bad. As I got home, walking from the Jeep to the house was not too bad. Here is where things started to drastically go downhill. I enter the Demon's room and could not find a single pair of useable pants?!! He supposedly did his laundry yesterday as well as fold and put everything away. But, where in the hell were his clothes!?
What I did find was a drawer stuffed with old curtains. WTF?! I saw underwear mixed throughout every drawer. There were fleece sweat shirts all over the place. T-Shirts mixed in with pajamas that were mixed in with sweatpants (that were obviously too small). I had no idea where his clean clothes where.. you know - the clothes he just washed, folded and put away the night before. Finally, after 10 minutes of looking around his room, I just grabbed a pair of school pants that I saw hanging in the closet.
Off to school.... well, I should clarify. What was once the school playground only 30 minutes ago had been turned into a lake; a lake of rushing water around an inch - 2 inches deep. I put out the umbrella and took off. I knew if I ran I'd only be more wet so I quickly walked to the door. With each step I could feel my blood pressure rising. The Demon is called to the office and I go to meet him at the bottom of the steps....
Demon: Oh, I should have asked for some dry socks.
Me: First, shut your mouth. Next,.. WHERE is all your clothes?! Finally, I hope you suffer the rest of the day with wet, gross socks!!!!! I know I will!!!

Ugh!!!! After that ordeal, it should be no surprise to anyone - especially the Demon - when his weekend is spent purging and organizing his room.
Oh, and I'm SICK of the rain. And, as soon as I find out who thought it was a good idea to walk a group of kids in this rain down and across the street to the library, they are getting an ass whoopin'.
Wow!
