Luke loses his job and Maxine is going to work the next school because summer is over, so instead of sending the boys to day care, Luke gets to watch the boys. Songfic. Mr. Mom by. Lonestar. Kit: 6, Nate: 5, Adam: 5, Seth: 5, Bryan: 4, Quinn: 4, Jake: 3,
Luke stomped into the house. "I lost my job." Maxine frowned, ran over, gave Luke a hug and a kiss.
"Well, school starts tomorrow, so instead of the kids going to day care you can watch them!" Maxine exclaimed.
"Sure," Luke smiled. This would be a breeze!
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Lost my job, came home mad
Got a hug and a kiss and that's too bad
She said, "I can go to work until you find another job"
I thought I like the sound of that
Watch TV and take long naps
Go from a hard working dad to being Mr. Mom
Luke ran toward Quinn who was taking crayons to a drawer. He grabbed them and said, "No more coloring on the drawers!"
"Daddy!" Came Bryan's voice from the living room. "Barney! Barney!" Luke got to the living room rewinded Barney then check the clock. 6:00. Breakfast time. He went to the kitchen and grabbed Jake put him in a high chair thingy.
"What the heck is in your hair?" Luke said when he looked at Jake. Bubblegum. He grabbed a scissors and cut the gum out. Well, Maxine might not notice the short patch of hair.
Luke fed the kids and watched the clock waiting for 9:00. When it finally came he was ready to scream and it was only Monday!
Well, Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the fifteenth time
Breakfast at six, naps at nine
There's bubblegum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long
And it's only Monday, Mr. mom
Luke waited for Kit to get off the bus, When he did it was off to football for Kit, soccer for Adam, and Seth and Nate to scouts. Then he and the other kids went to a P-T-A meeting. Well that was a mess! Bryan, and Quinn wouldn't shut up and Jake kept saying he wanted to see Sam.
After the meeting pick up the other kids from sports and go shopping. Nine people in a house need a lot of food, but seven flipping pages of groceries! Running around after seven kids in a store really takes a lot of a man. When the finally got home Luke locked them in a room. That was probably a mistake.
There was screaming from the triplets room. He ran toward the room, opened the door, and he saw hair pulling, punching, and kicking. When he finally he got them a part there was smoke coming from the kitchen. Great.
Take the meatloaf out put in some plates, let the boys out of their room, and have them wash up. They looked at the black meatloaf and back at their dad. "No!" They crossed their arms. Luke shook his head and thought,
'How does Maxine deal with this? This is crazy!'
Football, soccer, and ballet
Squeeze in scouts and P-T-A
And there's that shopping list she left
That's seven pages long
How much smoke can one stove make?
The kids won't eat my charcoal cake
It's more than any man can take being Mr. Mom
Well, Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the sixteenth time
Breakfast at six, naps at nine
There's bubblegum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long
And it's only Monday, Mr. mom
Luke told Maxine everything that had happened.
"Go to bed sweetheart." Maxine smiled. "I'll get them taken care of." Luke walked to their bedroom and grabbed the classifieds. Maybe there's something...
Before I fall in bed tonight
If the dog didn't eat the classifieds
I'm gonna look just one more time
'Cause Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the eighteenth time
Breakfast at six, naps at nine
There's bubblegum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long
Oh, been crazy all day long
And it's only Monday, Mr. Mom
Maxine came in the room and Luke said, "How the heck do you do it?" She just smiled. "You are my hero baby." He said and went to bed.
"I think it'll be easier tomorrow for you." Maxine said as she snuggled into bed. Luke's eyes shot open.
Lord help him.
Oh Mr. Mom
Balancing check books, juggling bills
Thought there was nothing to it
Baby, now I know how you feel when
What I don't know is how you do it
Oh
Honey, you're my hero
15 years later
"I still refuse to watch you boys by myself." Luke finished. His sons looked at him and burst out laughing.
"What about your grandkids? Will you watch them for us ever?" Adam asked.
"Not a chance." Luke said as he got up from his chair. His sons started laughing again.
"You do realize your home alone with us now, right?" Quinn asked.
"That's why I'm leaving. Don't burn anything down!" Luke called over his shoulder.
I hope you liked it! REVIEW!
