Shoved to Them
I picked up the baby yesterday morning. She studied my face for a moment. Her eyebrows raised as if to say “Hey…I know you!” and then she smiled with the whole of her face. What a happy morning. She knows who I am and she likes me!
The renters in our OKC house are insane with their expectations. They want everything done yesterday, call or text a dozen times a day (on Thanksgiving) until they’re done, and complain when it’s not done the way they wanted. (This wasn’t an emergency y’all. It was getting the hedges trimmed. They called on Thanksgiving morning and wanted it done that day.) When they moved in, their insurance company paid 6 months in advance (they lost theirs in a tornado). This is their first month of paying the rent themselves and guess what? It’s late. Would it be unreasonable to return the 10 times a day texting/calling favor? I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
A boy texted my daughter last night to ask her out (I think.) She said something about Christmas not being over until Epiphany. He replied “Oh, you’re Roman Catholic?” and the religious debate began. When she began to mop the floor with him (she’s heard his arguments before) he said “Your tone isn’t very attractive right now.” To which she replied, “You’re attacking my church. I’m not being attractive. I’m being right.”
My 12 year got an ocarina for Christmas but no lessons….
