If our walls had ears...

Sunday, when I'm wondering if I'll be free to go to airport to pick up Soldier Boy:

Me *hangs up phone*: "Woo hoo! No Inbound today!"

DH *stops cold in the hall, looking at me with a look of complete confusion*: "Hunh?"

Me *wondering why he's wondering*: "No. Inbound. Mission. Today. At. All. So, I won't have to go in to open the clinic." *Dur to him*

DH *the light has dawned*: "OH! I thought you said 'No inhibitions today.' "

Me *giggle*: "Ah, I can see why you were so confused."

DH: "Yeah, I was wondering how it was going to be different than any other day around here."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

This evening, talking about the changes in the young 'uns since Biggest Brother has seen them:

Mom: "I always thought that, if you give kids freedom to express themselves in their hair and make-up and music and clothes, they wouldn't feel the need to constantly rebel about absolutely everything. And then Her Royal Highness came along, and showed me I was wrong."

Soldier Boy: "Well, she's your only girl."

Daddy: "And your parents had four. Now you know why they drank."

Soldier Boy *laughing so hard he turns bright red and can barely talk*: "Oh, it's wrong to be laughing about this, isn't it?"

I forgot how they gang up on me...

;-D He's only here for two tiny weeks. I think I can handle it.

BTW, didja see his hawt picture?

9 folks talked back to Mama:

Re: the pic: GAH!!! I know. I know. I know. But he's a BABY. Your baby. Baby's shouldn't have guns and run around in deserts getting shot at! just sayin'.

So glad you are getting some time with him, though. And I am amused that they are ganging up on you. She. Is. YOUR. Daughter.

We are well trained by all those before her to deal with the GIRL. Maybe that's our destiny that we have prepared for all our lives. Are we up to the challenge?

TRO- Thanks, and right back atcha.

Siren-I know! He's just a teeny weeny widdle boy, still, in my head. But he's been bigger than me for a decade now. AND.I.was.GOOD.when.I.was.her.age.
Dammit. I was really good when I was her age!

Don-Ummm...I'm thinking no.

I'm happy for you all that he got to come home for a little while.

PS
I'm so glad I had a son. Girls are too much work.

I thought that worked the other way around, the kids were the result of drinking and sexin'. Did I have that wrong?

Super soldier Sam! I just wanted to say farewell. I'm bailing on blogging and just wanted to say that I've enjoyed your blog and your comments on my blog. I hope all continues to be good for you and your family. Please take care and God bless you and your family.
