The doorbell rings.
Ding-Dong.
It's the kid returning from play.
Indoors -
Me: Get the door, no?
He: I'm watching TV, you go na please!
Me: But I'm working...
He: Ok. You get the door this time; I'll get it the next.
Me: But I got the door the last 20 times (random number conjured for effect). Your turn now at least?
He: *grins broadly, making no movement indicative of getting up*
Ding-Dong. Ding-Dong.
Me: I'm not going. *stuffs face into laptop again*
He: Haha! This movie is hilarious! You should watch too!
Me: I'll watch, after you get the door.
Ding-Dong. Ding-Dong. Ding-Dong.
Me: *shouts to be heard through the door* Wait, boy, daddy's coming!
He: *shouts louder* No no, mamma will open it. Wait a sec!
Ding-Dong. Ding-Dong. Ding-Dong. Ding-Dong.
Me: Hmph. Fine! I'll go! And I don't like you, ok?
He: Hehe. Thanks, you're the best. :)
Me: x-(
So I grudgingly drag my feet and go open the door, and there stands....empty space?
Me: Uff! See what you did? Now he's gone off again!
He: He'll come back.
Me: Go look for him and bring him back.
He: He'll be back when he's hungry...arre, don't worry!
Me: Grr.
He: Come watch the movie with me. It's really funny!
Me: *contemplates* oh, ok. I'm too tired to work anyways.
He: Let's hope he takes his time coming back. I want to watch this peacefully till the end.
Me: I know! Me too. :)
No, it can't be easy being a kid in this house. But the survival skills you learn are superlative.

ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of a time when Linda and I sat around, arguing who'd kill the cockroach slowly inching its way past the wall--she nose deep in a book, I with my hand deep in a bottle of jam...
