Monday Morning:
Me: Griffin! Go get dressed. You are going to be late.
Griffin: (dawdling)
Me: Griffin. Go get dressed!
Griffin: (distracted by something shiny)
Me: Griffin! I swear, if I have to tell you one more time! Go--get--dressed!
Griffin: (disappears into his room)
(Much time passes.)
Me: Griffin?
(silence)
Me: Griffin!
(silence)
Me: (yelling downstairs) Is Griffin down there?
Griffin: (Walks out of his bedroom--completely naked.) Sorry I didn't answer you.
Me: Griffin! What have you been doing?
Griffin: Getting dressed.
Me: (Walking him back into his bedroom.) No, you haven't. I've told you a million times to get dressed and you're still naked. What is taking so long?!
Griffin: (pointing with wide eyes.) This book.
Monday Night:
Logan: Mom? Did you ever have a crush on someone when you were my age?
Me: Oh, sure.
Logan: Who?
Me: Rod Winland.
Logan: Was he a nice boy?
Me: Of course. He was my very good friend. We even shared the same birthday.
Logan: Why didn't you marry him?
Me: Well, he moved away and went to a different school, and things were different when we got older, you know.
Logan: Oh...well, if I had a crush on a boy would you help me know how to get him to like me?
Me: (gulp)
Ha! That was funny. My Mr. Destructo thinks that being in his underwear IS dressed, so, Griffin was almost done.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm lucky my daughter's not too into boys so far--yours is too smart. :)
Laurel- I never would have guessed you and Rod. Hmmmm!? Still trying to get passed that.
ReplyDeleteI am laughing, so cute those kids are!! Oh, and Rod Winland, never knew..lol!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I think every family has to have a dawdler. I love your conversation with Logan. How cute is she... so the real question is are you helping her?
