Day 6: I come home to find SS doing work on his bed. I ask what is he doing. He says he is doing a geography assignment. I ask “Why aren’t you doing it on your de – eh?…” I was about to say ‘desk’ as I turn to it. His desk has disappeared. In its place is a mountain pile of empty Coke cans, lego blocks, a slinky, and other junk. “What the!? SS! WHAT IS THIS MESS!?”. SS just shrugs his shoulders. Apparently we have a poltergeist that likes piling sh*t up on SS’s desk. I go ask DW about it.

So on our last date night, (last Friday), my folks decided to take BS and BD for a treat at McDonalds. They each got a little toy.

SS discovered one of these toys in BS’s room and proceeds to question me about it. I however, am completely oblivious and it took me a while to get wise to SS’s line of questioning. Conversation went like this:

SS: “Draco, did you guys go to McDonalds recently?”

Me: “No.”

SS: “Are you sure?”

Me: “Yes.”

SS: “Are you really sure?”

Me: “Yes, I am *REALLY* sure. Why do you ask?”

SS took a shower for the last three days in a row. THREE! :O

And all with no prompting or nagging from from DW. He just got out of bed and proceeded straight into the washroom to shower each morning!

DW is starting a new job next week. She is in desperate need of a new wardrobe. So the only time she has to shop is between now and Monday.

Originally the plan was to get my folks to baby-sit BS, BD and SS and I accompany DW on Saturday. Unfortunately, a good friend of my Dad’s just passed away and he and my Mom are going to the wake on Saturday. They are also busy on Sunday so they can’t babysit the kids.

We were *thinking* of letting SS babysit the two little ones but DW and I are both in agreement that SS is just not ready for that responsibility.
