We’ve been very busy here at the Stone House getting ready for the grandkids to arrive… which may be as early as tomorrow – or when ever they can catch a military flight back to the mainland.
Last night after a busy day moping wood floors The Engineer and I decided a trip down to Boehringer’s Drive In was the perfect choice for dinner. It’s a little hamburger – ice cream place set along the side of the road nestled in next to a shallow creek. There are lots of tall trees and the picnic tables that spread out along the creek provide a view to watch the ducks and kids play alongside the creek.
As we sat at our table last night a mother from the table next to us called to her son (10 – 11 years old) who was down wading in the water.
Mom: Don’t get your shorts wet.
Kid: What?
Mom: Don’t get your shorts wet!
Kid: What?
Mom: Don’t get your shorts wet.
Kid: What?
Mom: I Don’t want you to get your shorts WET!
Kid: What?
Mom: You heard me…
I snickered to myself… and we continued our meal.
A little later the Mom called out again…
Mom: Are you ready for your ice cream?
Kid: What?
Mom: Are you ready for your ice cream?!
Kid: What?
Mom: Do you want your ice cream now?
Kid: What?
I couldn’t help myself… I laughed right out loud! I looked at her and said… “Apparently not”.
Mom to kid again: Get up here!
Kid: What?
Mom: GET UP HERE NOW!
I don’t know about any of you… but he wouldn’t have gotten an ice cream cone and I can guarantee that if I were his mom my shorts would have gotten wet chasing that little twit down the creek!!

I agree. No ice cream. I would take it a step further. I would hire a sitter and leave him home next time I went ANYWHERE to eat and he would know why!
Have fun with the kid and kidz!
LOL
I bet you can guess who wrote that!
I am totally with you on that one!!!
That's when you want a pea shooter...
I agree- NO ice cream from me...
Have fun with the GKids.
My child answering with What would never happen. How can a mother let her child show that much lack of respect? It's not the child's fault and it won't be his child's fault and so it goes.
