Interaction with my eldest

[pat]

J; What's for dinner?
me: Macaroni & cheese I think.
J: Are you eating?
me: don't think so.
J: Are you going out?
me: nope.
J: Like THAT's a surprise.
me: I beg your pardon?
J: well, without Dad to push you, you never go out anywhere.
me: I don't need YOU to critique my social life, thank you very much.

I just want to smack the child. The real reason he wants me to go out, of course, is that babysitting fees for watching his brothers have enabled him to have a much better CD collection than anyone else in the house.

Little does he know of your secret after-bedtime life. Mwahahaha.

Kids.




Coffee? Coffee soon?

Coffee is good. What is your schedule like for the next term?

I see smacks in his future! And maybe more CDs.

I'd love to have dinner with you, too, at some point.

Well... he *does* have a point... ;)

I'm going to remember not to drink anything when I read your journal.

The not-eating to going-out connection is interesting. I forget that other people eat regular meals at regular times.
