In case you are wondering what's this chick on about jumping all over the place in this introducing the kids caper..
Well really I have no better reason than this.. something they did made me laugh or cry or pull my already prematurely gray hair out!
What did Reuben do?
Let me set the stage!
7:54 on a Monday morning, coffee brewing, fanbaby feeding. Fankids clambering to get those last minute get ready for school jobs done before walking out the door.
Reub arrives at the bedroom door in typical fashion. Noisily!!
"Mum! I have an assignment for science due in today!!"
Oh yes. That's right. 15 minutes before he needs to leave he drops this little number on me.
With as much bluntness I can muster (plenty at this time of the day, pre coffee, and with the knowledge that I had asked him on a number of occasions over the weekend if he had homework to complete) I responded with the only thing a sensible mum would say "Too bad! I am not going to help you!"
To answer your questions...Yes. And No :)
So now its on with the day! Coffee is drunk. Fanbaby is asleep. Fantoddler and fandaddy are watching playschool. And I have a house inspection in two days. So off to do some 'fan'cleaning!
Thats my twelve year old son to a t :p. I think it's a boy thing.
ReplyDeleteI wish it was just a boy thing! :p
