“Mom?”
“Yes?”
“I think you should just let me open whatever gift is a video game – then I won’t be so annoying over the Christmas break.”
“You’re a teenager – the video game won’t help.”
“Ah ha! So you DID get me video games after all!”

It’s 8:30pm.
Suddenly the doorbell rings.
I look through the peep hole.
It’s George, Brian’s best friend.
“Hi, I’m here!”
“Brian – George is here.”
“Oh yeh Mom, I forgot to tell you. George is spending the night.”
George enters.
“Are you hungry George?”
“Kinda.”
“Mom, I’m hungry too.”

“Mom?”
“Yes?”
“I’m going to George’s”
“OK”
He waves to me from the door.
“Brian?”
“Yeh?”
“When was the last time you brushed your teeth?”

“Three days ago… I think.”

Brian, my 14 year old teenage son gets into the car with a bag from Taco Bell…
“Can I eat it now? I’m starving!”
“Sure.”
A few minutes pass, and I glance over to a slight mess on Brian’s chest.
“Brian don’t you have napkins???”
Boy looks through bag while munching.
“No. I guess they didn’t give me any.”
“That would be because you have to get them where you got your hot sauce.”
“Oh. That’s OK I’ll just use my shirt.”
“Brian .. I am dropping you off at the movies … in public!”
“No problemo mom. Here’s all I need to do to be clean…”
Brian proceeds to zip up his hoodie.
“There, all clean.”
What do I know. I’m just the mom.
Until next time-
