I was sitting there on the ground spacing out when two thugs
jumped me from behind. I was taken
completely off-guard and it took me a few seconds to comprehend what was
happening. In that time, I suffered
multiple blows to my ribs and was caught in a headlock. I was knocked over to the side with the
bigger thug’s arm around my neck and the smaller thug punching me in the solar
plexus. I managed to knee the smaller guy off of me while I rolled onto the
bigger guy so that my back was now on top of him.
The little guy recovered and charged at me like Dick
Butkus. I shook off the headlock and sat
up to try to fend off the wild rhino attack.
The bigger thug took this opportunity to squirm out from under me and I
lost track of him as the little guy soared through the air with a psychotic
smile on his face of terror.
His momentum took me back down and he was on top of me. My hockey instincts took over which is weird
since I don’t play hockey and I pulled the mugger’s shirt from his back up and
over his head making him blind and limiting his arm movements. This gave me the chance I needed to push him
off me and take an offensive position.
However, as I tried to stand up, the little fucker backed up and I ended
up holding his inside out shirt while the big fucker jumped on my back again.
I did another roll on the floor to lose him and finally came
up in a squatting fight position ready to take on my aggressors. I tied the little fuck’s shirt around my head
like a banshee and said, “Bring it, punks.”
They both screamed, “Attack,” and charged at me. The big one swatted at my headband shirt but
ended up getting only a little slice of my face from under my eye instead. Apparently these hooligans haven’t heard of
nail clippers. I ignored the blood and
body slammed the little one to the ground.
Then as the big one came in for second swipe, I grabbed his arm and
pulled him to the ground on top of his partner in crime.
Then I jumped on top of both monsters and tickled them to no
end. They were crying with laughter and
began to not be able to breathe. They
both finally yelled, “I’m a monkey’s bottom,” and it was over.
I rose up a champion and I celebrated with a victory dance
of epic proportions. There was hip
swaying, woot wooting, in your facing and quite a bit of fancy footwork. The boys were so impressed that they joined
me and suddenly a street brawl turned into a dance fest.
We finally collapsed in exhaustion, I put a towel on my
bleeding face and we watched Good Luck Charlie together.
Those are the very best moments right there. Glad you could celebrate the victory with those defeated.
ReplyDeleteSomeday they will be able to kick my ass. Until then, I will show no mercy!
DeleteI bet they took your wallet though!
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed tiny capitalists. Daddy, can we buy this? Can we get that? After being told no so many times, it wouldn't surprise me if they lift my wallet!
DeleteYou're having too much fun - I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteThere is no such thing as too much fun!
DeleteBest. Story. Ever. You're such a great dad, pal.
ReplyDeleteOh stop! Glad to see you telling so many stories lately. Keep it up!
DeleteI never knew fatherhood was so dangerous!
ReplyDeleteIt is totally dangerous. Risk of injury and mini disasters are part of the package.
DeleteYou took a beating like a boss.
ReplyDelete(And thanks for reminding me that my son the Hobo needs to clip his disgusting toenails ;). )
I forget about their nails all the time. Apparently their mom does too. And apparently honey badger don't care about their fucking nails.
DeletePhew! At first I thought you had actually been mugged. I was hoping everything turned out ok... When I got to the point where you pinned them both down and tickled them, I knew it had to be your boys. Enjoy the moment Bret. These will be the memories they hold on to for a long time. You will too. Sounds like you guys had a blast. That is so awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt was totally real. By kids mugged me big time! :)
DeleteI'm sure when it was over- you hugged them too!
DeleteYou had me going for a minute there. Great story, happy ending.
ReplyDeleteWe usually play until somebody cries, so yeah, it was a good happy ending.
DeleteYou're a good dad :) Initially, I was thinking, shit -I always thought Denver was so passive... lol.
ReplyDeleteUs Rocky Mountain boys are rough and tumble!
DeleteAnother awesome (and well-written) post. You guys have a lot of fun together.
