I spent the past two nights babysitting my nephew after work. Because of him, I’ve been leaving work at 5pm instead of the usual 6 – 6:30. Now, I have to make up those hours during the rest of the week. That means I can’t get out of work on time for some of the other open mics. That sucks, I want to keep on going. Keep the momentum going.
But babysitting him also struck a reality in me. This is what having a kid would be like. My nephew likes spending time with me and wonders why I can’t come over more often. I feel bad that I can’t either. Will I still be able to drag my ass to the City for comedy with my own baby waiting for me at home? I don’t know. When it comes to my baby, I don’t know what to expect. What I think would happen may be completely different from what will happen.
It’s a boy, by the way.
