Humanity....(and Zombies)

I ended up going over to D-Gangs for the hugs that I needed 4 days ago.  She was pretty vigilant that I come get those hugs.

The kids asked me if I was there for Valentine's Day or just to bring over food.  One kid said "You are here! Are you leaving?"  

I dispersed the crowd with a simple announcement:  "My Fair and Lovely People.  I am here for hugs.  Hugs that I was promised from your Management.  Line up for hugs or I will leave with all these snacks with me.  And I will be forced to report back to the Fairy Counsel that you did not cooperate."

I got hugged.

I came home and Big Funny Kid and I settled in to watch some Zombie Action.  Popcorn, Thin Mints, Canned Pasta Product.  Da works.

About mid-way through the show I yelled out (with my mouth full of popcorn) "OK - no.  No WAY are we spending that much time burying our dead.  Get our Journal out and write this one down.  NO BURYING THE DEAD DURING THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!"

Big Funny Kid stopped mid-crunch and pushed the pause button.

"Mom?  Really?  What about humanity?"

"Dude, there is a difference between humanity and being human and the undead know that."

We sat there in contemplation.

Because we both had a pretty good point.

I broke the silence and said, "OK....ok.....OKAY......we will bury our dead.  Even if we don't have a lot of time.  But keep in mind that the zombies are just gonna dig them up and eat their brains. Or they are gonna become zombies and try to eat OUR brains.....Either way we need to keep a tight hold on the shovel."

Big Funny Kid thought about that for a bit.

And then he said, "Well....at least we would have done the right thing, right?"

I smiled.

I took his hand and said "Yep."

He squeezed my hand back.
