Life with boys … the boy put “plastic cups (2)” on the grocery list so I asked for a few more details … “why do you need cups?” … “what kind of cups?” … “how big are the cups?” … “how big of a package?” … the boy tells me he needs them for a work party and tells me “you know, cups” … that’s it, cups … so I make a special trip to the store and I buy two packages of cups (see photo) … the boy comes home and sees the cups on the table … “is this all the cups they had?” … “weren’t there colorful ones?” … “maybe more in a package?” … “they seem a bit small” … Me: “yes, there are all of those, still at the store” … “well, can you return these?” … “yes, but I am not going to” … “remember me asking you to clarify the cup request?” … “well you know it is a work party?” … Me: “and you are the only person bringing cups?” … Boy: “nevermind I will go get my own cups” … “good plan” … I didn’t kill him that day … thought about it though …
