It’s got to be the best feeling in the world when you meet someone you click with – right away. I think as soon as I met Mr. Naughty Pants at the beginning of this school year – I knew we were going to have a great time together. It took a while before we got to spend time together – but as soon as it happened it has been great fun! I get kind of sad when he’s not there – or if he’s feeling blue (no, not balls!) about something. I look forward to lunch time – because I know I am going to go hang out with a small group of people who make all the hells of the day disappear. The bell rings, I grab my lunch and dash down to Mr. Naughty Pants’ room – and as soon as I walk through the door I feel this nirvana. Then when the bell rings again, letting us all know it’s time to get back to work – I always get a little sad, because I want to just hang out with Mr. Naughty Pants and his girls. (I’ll explain his “girls” in another post – it’ll take a whole post to do that.) deltasone

Let me to get to why I have dubbed this friend of mine Mr. Naughty Pants. Well, first and foremost, he’s naughty. He has got to be one of the sickest people I know – besides myself. He’s so much more naughty than I’ll ever be – and how could I not admire that?! Then, it was per his request that I call him something to do with “Pants” in the title – because he thought it would be funny (an inside joke). Mr. Naughty Pants has a loud booming personality that everyone (who is normal) really enjoys. He will go down the halls singing loud and clear, and when he stops everyone is calling out for more. He’s a great person with a bigger heart than anyone else I know. He’s Mr. Tough guy on the outside – but I know the inside is cuddly teddy bear. (awww cute) He has to deal with a severe and profoundly Autistic child daily (who loves Mr. Naughty Pants) and sometimes the boy becomes violent. Mr. Naughty Pants is forced to have to become physical with this boy (never hurting him), restraining him so he cannot hurt himself or anyone else around. After these episodes I can see the pain in Mr. Naughty Pants’ eyes – as it kills him a little inside having to treat this boy that way. The boy has improved 150% since the first day of being with Mr. Naughty Pants – because he loves him so much. We are lucky to be a part of Mr. Naughty Pants’ life – as I hope it lasts forever…

If you have ever watched The Family Guy you can kind of get an idea what Mr. Naughty Pants is like. Though he’s a Peter Griffin with brains. So, he’s the smart guy telling you to pull his elbow because he’s got a sudden painful cramp – then he farts and laughs until his face turns a bright red. He’ll belt out something sounding so awesomely brilliant, leaving the room awed and speechless – then turn around and start dancing the robot accompanied by a little beatboxing. He has taught the kind girl next door how to say, “beeyotch.” He had a childhood no child should have to endure – he grew up with an adolescence of trouble and problems and then made a 360 degree turn and created a life to be proud of. So, no matter how awesomely smart and talented he is – he always brings you back down to the fact that he is only a human being – who is enjoying life.
