A Conversation with a 12-year-old - 2nd Edition
Boy, "Mom, will you make me some breakfast?"
Me, "Do you want eggs & toast?"
Boy, "Nope. Pancakes."
Me, "I'm not making pancakes, I'll make eggs & toast."
Boy, "But, I want pancakes."
Me, "Sorry, I don't want to make pancakes, I'll make eggs."
Boy, "Well, you're not being a very good mother then, are you?"
Five minutes later, as he is eating his eggs & toast, "Mom, can you give me some money towards an Xbox 360 if I don't have enough?"
What...... is this like my second chance or something? I am quite relieved to know that I can always buy back my Mother of the Year Award when I've had it yanked away by making the wrong breakfast. Jackass.
