I think that the 13 yr old is out to get me --- mentally, anyway.
He came home quite chipper from school yesterday. Then we had this conversation:
Son #3: "So, you know what would be cool?"
Me: (looking at him very suspiciously and not really wanting to answer, but also not wanting to add to yet another chapter entitled, "101 Ways My Mom Ignored Me"): "No, what would be cool?"
Son #3: "If I came home from school and found you playing the Wii, totally having mastered "Call of Duty 3". Yep, that would be totally cool."
Me: "What?!"
Son #3: "Yeah, cuz then we could play it together and maybe you'd beat me. Well, maybe."
Me: ----------------------- not saying anything out loud, but wondering what the heck in going on inside that kid's brain.
Son #3: "Don't you think that would be cool?"
Me: "I have to fix dinner."
He's up to something. I haven't quite figured it out yet, but it must be big. I think he's trying to keep me guessing and confused so that I'll be thrown off of the scent of what he's really up to.
Whatever it is --- it's totally working.
