By the time Daryl managed to get to the workshop he didn't want to hear the word penis again, he was hoping Joey would find a new topic of conversation. He wandered in looking at the work books to see what they had to do today. He made a coffee pulling on his overall and headed out to the garage.
'Where do you want me?' He asked Merle. Merle was putting the phone down his face looked like thunder like he wanted to start smashing up some parts in the junk pile at the shop. His foot was bouncing Daryl knew he been arguing with someone on the phone.
'Got that shit pile there needing new breaks and lights.' Merle indicated to a car out on the lot stomping around the work shop. Daryl followed him at a safe distance watching to see what Merle was going to do next. Merle thought he was going to have his cake and eat it too but Carol wasn't too happy with Merle considering it was Merle's night last night and both Rick and him had time with her instead. She had basically cut him off because she could. Daryl and Rick had a fun night and Merle was coping the crap from it.
'What's wrong with you,' Daryl wanted to push Merle a little to see what he would spill out, he shouldn't have gone with Andrea without thinking about it. He knew this is why Merle normally stuck pretty close to home, after a few drinks his dick did the talking and walking for him. It didn't mean that he didn't love Carol because he could see that he did, he just never left the house because basically he would sleep around. He never done that with Carol because he never went out with another girl before while with her. Now he was caught up in a big web of confusion.
'Nothin', not a thing, cept, doesn't matter,' Merle stuck his head under the hood of the car he had been working on.
'Sure?'
'Fuck Daryl I can't talk to you about this shit, right, Carol just wants to dump my arse!' Merle muttered banging on something under the hood. Spark plugs come flying in Daryl's direction on purpose he suspected.
'Well don't go breaking nothing while you sort it, is it cos you fucked the blonde chick?' Daryl wasn't sure what was going on there, he knew some of it was because of her, she used to pant after Merle in the good old days but he only been with her a week so she couldn't have mucked things up that quickly.
'Yeah, now I got two women on my arse about stuff,' Merle's voice come out from under the hood.
'What,' Daryl didn't know what he meant.
'Andrea ain't used to sharing and Carol don't wana share, that's what I mean,' Merle stuck his head out.
'World problems' Daryl muttered. 'I got Carol sleeping with two others, I'm got to be happy bout it,'
'Well she cut me off so you don't need to get worried bout that none, now get to fucken work, your worst than a chick gasp bagging.' Merle growled at him. Daryl couldnt help but laugh it was always the same with Merle. Women problems.
Daryl worked solidly all day keeping an eye on the time for when he had to go pick up Joey from pre school. Stripping down, spraying himself well and truly all over so he didn't smell going into pick him up.
He half cringed thinking about what he might have told his teacher today, probably stripping down Barbie dolls and pulling their legs off if he was anything like him as a kid, he used to borrow the Barbies to see what was under their clothes. He had quite a reputation with the girls for stripping the Barbies down. He walked in with a half smile looking around the little kids for his little kid not seeing him anywhere.
'Toilet,' one of the teachers told him. She took him to the bathroom where Joey was sitting on the throne.
'You done buddy?' Daryl asked him.
Joey looked at him, 'Not yet, can you hear it?'
'Ummmmmmm,'
'Wipe my bum!' Joey invited him into do it, Daryl sighed, moving forward to do it.
'Do you want to look at it?' Joey invited him to admire it.
'Its great Joey,' Daryl didn't know how to complement it, something he realized quickly he should admire every body function Joey made, giving applause to poo's, pee, eating dinner, putting his jocks on. Anything that Joey thought warranted applause, so in the kids toilet Joey got a standing ovation from Daryl and his teacher.
Daryl washed his hands, Joey washed his hands and he really hoped Rick was going to be on pre school pick up and drop off tomorrow. Joey looked at the teacher talking to her confidently.
'My Daddy has a penis!' he told the teacher Daryl let out a groan as the young female teacher eyes couldn't help but drop to his crotch. Daryl started hustling Joey out of the suddenly small bathroom when Joey started with the rest of his sentence, 'Cos he's a boy like me, Mama doesn't cos she's a girl she has a gina!'
The teacher was trying not to laugh, 'Oh we hear it all here, I never forget the child who come in every day telling us that her Mama and Daddies bedroom door was locked because they was having special cuddles,'
'Really, Joey said anything like that?' Daryl asked.
'No, just he has a Daddy now,' She told him.
'Ok, thanks, come on Joey lets get your bag go see if Uncle Merle cooking dinner?' Daryl grabbed his bag, the teacher waved them goodbye admiring the back view of Daryl as he left.
