Jon was more than a little crabby this morning. As he left for school, I said, "Have a good morning!", and he replied, "Have a good DOOM." And to make it worse, he added, "I don't mean you, Romeo."
Robert had a dish of whole dried plums, and I saw that Jonathan was eating one. I told Robert, "That was certainly nice of you to share your snack with Brother." He said, "I didn't give him one--he helped himself." I went over and looked in the bowl--there was one left. "How many did he take?" I asked. I realized that was a stupid question and started taking the plums out of Jonny's mouth. One, two, three, four were pulled out, just like the magicians' scarf trick.
I didn't realize that, along with every contagious disease that comes down the pike, that I would also catch the dreaded scourge of whining. I was at the doctor's office yesterday, loaded down with sweet little baby, when the receptionist handed me a three page document to fill out. "Do I have to do it now?" I whined.
Robert has started many clubs over the years, including the infamous "Butt Club". That club is for anyone who says that particular word . It's very popular with the under 6 crowd, who think the word "butt" is hilarious. His latest is the "No Adults Allowed Club". I asked him who was eligable to join the club, and he said, "Anyone who goes to our church who is under 30."
