Momo: [unconvincingly trying to explain why Santa Claus’s image cannot be captured on film… but only on Christmas Eve because otherwise, he takes photos with kids all through the month of December…🤦‍♀️]

Dean: Why can’t you just say it, Mommy?! Why can’t you just say the truth?!

Momo: What truth?

Dean: That you and daddy buy the presents and put them under the tree!

Momo: …

Daddy: …

Momo: …

Momo: It is true. Daddy and I have always made Christmas magic for you. Are you okay with that?

Dean: Okay?! I’m fine!!! Christmas is weeks away! I’ll probably forget everything you said by then!

😳

At least he admits that he doesn’t listen to us!

Dean is sitting at the kitchen counter, his homework binder open in front of him. There is a ramekin in front of him filled with tiny tortilla strips; you know, the thin strips that come on salads. Every so often, he reaches into the bowl and eats one.

Dean: These things are really good and so are you, Mommy!

Mommy: …

Dean: Not to eat or anything

Mommy: …

Dean: You’re good to love, is what I’m saying.

Who is this kid?!?!

Mommy: Read

His eyes widen and his hand flies to his heart

Dean: That is just… so sad, Mommy!

Too Much

We are helping our Cubscout pack run the snack bar at baseball games. Dale is traveling and tonight we decided to ride our bicycles to open everything up.

Dean pulled up next to me and said…

”So, Mom, do you think you have a good life?”
