Happy Birthday Mommy

Today is my mommy's Birthday.

The sci-fi channel was airing a Legend of the Seeker "catch-up marathon" all day. I never really watched this show in the States, but it's kind of cool.

MALOU: Are you almost done eating?
RYAN: Almost.
MALOU: When you're done, can you help them carry the oxygen tank because you're the 1 with the muscles?
RYAN: Ok.

But then I heard my mommy screaming for me. Dad was supposed to be released from the hospital yesterday, but couldn't because we needed an oxygen tank for him at the house just in case. I casually walked over to 1 of the extra bedrooms where Philip, Bernie and my mommy had carried the oxygen tank.

MOMMY: Why weren't you moving?! Philip has back problems! You're supposed to be carrying this! Blah, blah, blah ...
RYAN: Oooh. They just asked me if I was done eating. They didn't tell me to do this now.
MALOU: I thought it was embarassing to rush him.

Then I went back to the Legend of the Seeker "catch-up marathon." Mommy left to visit dad in the hospital.

Philip later invited me to go to the hospital with him to pick everybody up. I got ready really slowly as I was watching the Legend of the Seeker "catch-up marathon."

RYAN: (pointing the video camera at him) Dad, did you know it's mommy's Birthday?
NURSE: (at my mom) Oh, Happy Birthday!
MOMMY: (whispering) Why do you keep broadcasting it's my Birthday? I'm gonna have to feed everyone!

The nurses changed dad's bandages. I coached him through his inhalation exercises. I got him to do 10 reps (he couldn't do more than 3 reps last time). But he laughed sarcastically at the midpoint when I barked at him, "5 more!" AND immediately afterward, I got him to sing "Happy Birthday" to mommy.

We took him home. Then I went back to watching the Legend of the Seeker "catch-up marathon." Then Uncle Mon and Auntie Aida came over for dinner. We ordered the same stuff we ate last night, but took it home. I reminded Uncle Mon about more motorcycle riding lessons in the future. Then went back to watching the Legend of the Seeker "catch-up marathon."

Now I'm blogging while everyone's asleep, but I have to get back to watching the Legend of the Seeker "catch-up marathon."
