Things that make you go, "Hummmm"

[gateslacker]

I came home from work last night to find the dishes had been loaded, the kitchen clean, and the floor vacuumed. Since I was in no small amount of shock, I asked Brandon if he had done it. Duh. (No, the cleaning fairies had come while I was working).

That was completely deserving of a hug and a peck on the cheek. Then, he said that he had missed me.

*blink*

At this point, I am waiting for either one of two things. Either he was in super trouble at school or he wanted something. When he didn't ask for anything, I decided to question him further without letting him in on my suspicions because you don't want to ruin a wonderful moment looking for ulterior motives.  I asked, "How was school?" because I always ask this.  He replied, "Good"  GOOD! School is never something he would refer to as "good". So, no trouble, maybe, hopefully.

Finally, I couldn't help it and said, "So, who are you and what have you done with my son?"

Well, I suppose you can always hope that it was the random act of kindness because he really did miss you. But, yeah, understandable when a child's behavior seems all suspect. ;)

LOL, yeah. It may also have been a random act of boredom since the X-box is hit or miss in its death throes

LOL. Ah kids. Sometimes that act of kindness makes you wonder. It was sweet of him to do it, though. Maybe he realized how hard you work.

Maybe he realized how hard you work

I wish. What it means to work hard and that money does not materialize out of thin air are concepts about which he is clueless. However, he will be learning about that in the very near future

Did you go to St. Louis without him?

Enjoy this random burst of thoughtfulness!!!

No, he went and brought a friend with him which I think is a first.

Read your post out to me. She said she would have pinched herself to see if she was awake!!

[gateslacker.livejournal.com]

LOL, I didn't consider that scenario.

Yeah that last remark would have been my reaction too. At least we didn't come home to a trashed house this weekend. The camping trip itself was already a bust.
