The Grown Son was digging around in the freezer, looking for some ice cream.

He found two beers that Bob must have stashed in there to cool down.

They were frozen through and through.

Thank goodness they hadn’t exploded.

So of course I had to tell the Grown Son a story.

Long ago, when Bob was in high school, he exploded a six-pack of Dr. Pepper in my mother’s freezer.

He had put the drinks in to cool down, fully intending to take them out a few minutes later.

But he got distracted.

And disaster ensued.

I have NEVER seen my mom so angry.

The Grown Son thought this story was hilarious.

Bob, not so much…

For Thanksgiving, I made enough food to feed an army.

The idea was that I wouldn’t have to cook for the rest of the weekend.

But now here we are, less than 24 hours after the holiday, and they have eaten me out of house and home.

There is not one crumb left of our Thanksgiving feast.

And they want to know what we’re going to eat for dinner tonight.

Yep, I am definitely a Mom of Boys.

Me: Hey, I was watching that! – to The Husband who was stealthily trying to change the channel.

Him: Sorry, I didn’t think you were still alive.

Me:

Him: Awake. I meant awake! I didn’t think you were still awake!

Nice save, Bob.

Nice save.

When you have words with the Grown Son.

And he tells you he’s not a child and don’t tell him what to do.

And he ends the conversation with a sarcastic, “OK Boomer.”

But then he does exactly what you suggested in the first place.

That’s worth a snarky, “OK Boomer.”

I’m good.

Bob is out of town.

I informed the Grown Son that when Dad is out of town, I am on Staycation.

I don’t cook or shop.

I’m quite happy to eat toast and fruit for dinner.

The Grown Son was very concerned.

What will he eat?

I informed him that there was cooked taco meat in the freezer.

He rummaged around until he found it, and then he objected.

Because it was frozen.

Excuse me?

What did he think he was going to find in the freezer?

A hot meal?

That reminds me…

I need to add some wine to my toast and fruit dinner.

I took a Buzzfeed quiz.

It said that I’m not ready to have kids.

I’m totally OK with that.

I’m not sure how the boys are going to take the news…

Can I get a refund?
