I assume that she's gone for her lunch now too, because he has demanded something to eat.
Phone rang
A girlfriend, on for a chat. We chat. We talk about lots of inconsequential things. For about 20 minutes.
I hang up the phone and realise that I can smell the sandwich-maker in the kitchen.
I go in and am greeted by this:
I'll just clarify the photo for you - it's the sandwich-maker (on and gently wafting smoke) a half-spread piece of bread (spread with mayonnaise. using a fork). A sad looking bit of gammon.
And a tiny note.
Here's the note:
Happy Sunday people :-)
That boy's a card! I love how his mind works. What, pray, is a ripstick?
ReplyDeletewhat did you do? i'd have told him to get it himself, but then i suppose it's my complete lack of maternal instincts that has resulted in my own childlessness. still, though...
ReplyDeleteyes, what IS a ripstick?
ReplyDeleteI may have to try that out with Jon. He's such a cool kid. What is a ripstick? x
ReplyDeleteBless him, pray tell what a ripstick is?
ReplyDeleteX x
Of course.
ReplyDeleteThis boy will go far on his ripstick (if you don't strangle the poor wee soul first) I can see him making a very capable Lord of the Manor, or even (God forbid) a Conservative politician.
ReplyDeletePS, D'ye mind making one for me as well, I'm a bit peckish, the usual will do.
A ripstick is like a skateboard, except that it's got two wheels only and is shaped like a tiny two headed paddle. One propels it forwards by wiggling one's right foot on the back paddle.
ReplyDeleteGetting on and off is hellish difficult. Not that I've been sneakily having a bash on the driveway or anything when he's been at school.....
This made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteIf any of my girls ever left such a note I would rip it up in front of them and tell them to go away with an expression chosen from our rich Anglo-Saxon linguistic heritage. What an effing cheek!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain......my son leaves me notes too....and he's 21!!!!x
ReplyDeleteI have to say, he's very cute with it. It made me laugh. But I have made it clear that he's got to do some more work around the house. Cue much sighing and eye-rolling.
ReplyDeleteI think he's going to be the Prince of Cups - all talk about LURV but pretty pathetic when it comes to actually DOING things for you because he loves you.
I came down heavy on legend Jr yesterday as his room was a complete disaster. He'd tipped a large packet of peanuts all over the floor, and emptied the contents of his drawers over the bed. I told him not to show his face out of the room until it was spotless. I left him there wailing. A few minutes later, he was crying to his Mom. "Daddy is making me tidy up my room and he wants it spotless. I don't know what spotless is".
ReplyDeleteThose two boys would get on well.
