There is chaos in the room, a madness which can only be tolerated for a few
minutes before you’re forced to sneak away and seek solace behind the
glass doors.
It’s called—daycare.
Today is no ordinary day. I’ve been dreading this event since a yellow
note came home in Andy’s backpack three weeks ago. A tiny piece of paper
announcing ‘Bring Daddy to Daycare Day.’
I mean, really, what the fuck? Who the hell thought this would be
beneficial to young children?
It’s bad enough Hallmark has staked their claim in the world, forcing
consumers to celebrate an array of occasions, and if you didn’t tick the box
of being in a relationship or are short a parent, you’re left to feel like the
worst person in the world.
This is who I’ve become.
Not only that, preschool-age children have short attention spans. Asking
them to sit on a rug while some lucky kid explains how awesome their dad
is because he’s a police officer who fights baddies, is asking a lot of the
twenty-odd children inside the room.
The second I read the note, my cell goes into overdrive. My
overprotective brother wants to make sure I’m okay, and he has to open his
big fat mouth causing my parents to worry. You would think I’d be used to
it by now, the constant fretting over my well-being.
I’m fucking fine.
Just like the song says, Always look on the bright side of life.
Well, the bright side is this ugly orange wall I stand against as I watch
the room quickly fill up with parents. Dads every which way you turn.
Several are happily playing with their children, some are dressed in suits
like my brother, and others are dressed more casually—those are the stayat-home daddies. You can spot them a mile away. They carry around a
backpack like it’s loaded with explosives only to know it’s full of diapers,
wipes, and other emergency items to keep the boo-boos away.
At least they aren’t wearing overalls. Ugh.
It’s no surprise police-officer dad is getting the most attention. When it
comes to men in uniforms, the single mothers inside the room hover around
them like leeches. Are we at daycare or a Tinder meet-up? It’s amusing to
watch, especially when you see them strategically try to adjust their blouse
to show more cleavage.
I start to lose circulation in my leg as Andy clings to me for dear life,
hiding his face in fear, aware of the unusual activity around him.
“Why isn’t my grandbaby runnin’ round like the other kids?”
Taking a deep breath to calm my annoyance, I turn to face Mary Jean,
Andy’s grandmother. She’s borderline getting on my nerves. As far as
mothers-in-law go, I guess I should count myself lucky, although she hovers
over Andy like he’s an abandoned baby bird. He has a mother, me.
“He’s a little shy now, Mary Jean. Give him a moment.”
“Don’t know why ya put him in here. Told ya to move close to home,
