Tallons of Steel

Saturday night was incredible! Ms Tallon came over, as expected, for a wonderful dinner with Waldo and I. With the horrors of Friday morning's fire fresh in my mind, I was too scared to try my hand at cooking a gourmet meal. Rather, I ordered out from a nice Chinese restaurant around the corner, but served the food from my own wok. Ms Tallon was impressed with "my" Moo Goo Guy Pan and Moo Shoo Pork. I think she was pretty keen about "my" Beef with Broccoli as well. To her, it was home-made bliss; to me, it was numbers 32, 45 and 69 on the takeout menu.
During dinner we began to discuss current events. (It turns out we have the same views on many different things.) Right in the middle of our discussion on what should be done with the space program, Waldo interupted, "Ms Tawon, Ms Tawon." [Waldo has a speech impediment.] "Ask me how ta spe'wh my name." Waldo was obviously excited about his newfound ability to spell his name, so Ms Tallon did as she was asked. Waldo answered, "W- a- l- the number seven- d- o." Ms Tallon and I looked at each other, bewildered. Being the father I am, I attempted to correct Waldo, explaining that there was no seven in his name. Then Waldo came up with the most incredible response, "Dad, the seven is silent." Despite his smaller than average brain size (he has Parahippocampal diminuere) that boy is so bright. Sometimes I wonder if anything is really wrong with him... then I see him walk with his cane and his eyeglasses and I realize that he is different. Sad really.
Well, after dinner I helped Waldo into his beloved red and white striped pajamas and tucked him into bed. I kissed him goodnight and joined Ms Tallon in the den where I put on my favorite Charlize Theron movie. During one of the sex scenes, Ms Tallon and I got to talking about our feelings on the subject. I told her about my extensive pornography collection and she told me in a playful manner that she was interested in seeing it.
I am not one to kiss and tell, but I am not calling this blog Tallons of Steel for nothing! Of course one thing led to another... yadda yadda yadda... we had a wonderful breakfast Sunday morning with Waldo of bacon and eggs.
I am sure that Waldo and I will be seeing a lot more of Ms Tallon in the future. I really had a good time with her Saturday, and I can honestly say that I have fallen for her. Well, it's time for me to get ready for work, so I will keep you loyal readers updated.
