Without mentioning names, I walked into the living room and said, "Hey, I have the quote of the weekend for you." He looked away from the television. Hmm, looked good, he was paying attention.
"Mommy, can we have a mini refrigerator in our room?"
Sapper cracked a smile and said, "When did Yell say that?"
Deflated, I responded, "When we were at Home Depot."
Apparently he knows our kids well. The kid with the insatiable appetite is the likely candidate for the fridge request.
But my conversation with Yell got better. I just flat out said, "NO!"
Yell: But it would be great! We could have our breakfast in our room. We could have snacks. We wouldn't have to come out at all!
me: [momentarily pondering the silence of mornings that would ensue {yeah, right}] Oh, and you think that would be a good thing?!!
Yell: Yeah, we could bring all the dishes up to our room....
I'll let you know when we get the sink and dishwasher installed. This is obviously a well thought out plan.
And if you believe that, I know a prince in Nigeria who'd like you to collect an inheritance.
And we thought it was a big deal to RENT a frig for you at UD! Tell her to start saving her dollars, then she can take it off to college. Imagine that.
