Age 10 has to be better than age 9 right? It’s E~’s only hope for survival.
The kid needed clothes. Badly. So Monday afternoon he & I headed out in search of jeans, shirts, & church pants. Things were going really well so I thought I’d take E~ to Sonic for a treat. We both ordered a cherry limeade & split some cheesy tots. I parked the van so we could share our snack. As we were finishing E~ looks back at his seat & realizes his RED drink has tipped & is spilling onto the 1yr old van seat.
I was proud of myself. I didn’t yell & we cleaned the mess up as best we could. When we got home, E~ finished cleaning up the mess & was very apologetic. No harm done.
That was yesterday. Today I am heading to the store with T~ & as we turn a corner she points to a Sonic cup rolling around by her seat. I rightly assumed it was E~’s empty cup from the previous day. Only it wasn’t empty. Or at least it wasn’t empty until after it had dumped the rest of its contents onto a different seat as we were tooling around town this morning.
*Taking slow deep breaths*
I found lime pulp & a cherry. The rest has soaked into the seat.
It would not be wise to call the school & leave a message telling E~ he is dead when he walks in the door.
But it is really tempting.
K~
