Me: "Did you remember your keys?"
Riley: "Yes!" (rather annoyed that I'm asking such a ridiculous question)
Noon - My phone rings and I see it's Riley
Riley: "Um, Mom? I forgot my keys."
Me: (Contemplating a lecture but deciding to take another route) "What are you going to do?"
Riley: (Very sweetly...) "I really, really want to go to my house Mommy..."
Me: (He had me at "Mommy") "Ok, I'll be home in a half hour."
Riley: "Can you stay and have lunch with me?"
Me: "Of course."
I whip up a smoothy for the boys. Riley promises he didn't sweat today and isn't stinky - he grabs me in a big bear hug and thanks me for saving the day.
It was all worth the forgotten keys.
Dude he is getting so big I hardly recognize him! He has you whipped. :) I would be too.
