Wise Guy

My son makes me laugh. He makes me laugh because he is smart and he has a great sense of humor and he’s such a teenager. Today he questioned my “uneasy obsession with death” in response to my enthusiasm for watching Cold Case Files. Later I stopped at the store to buy some snacks for us and he became irritated with having to go into the store. I said fine – you stay here, I’ll go in and you can’t have any of the food I buy. He agreed, remarking that he didn’t want anything anyway. I returned with a 24 pack of Dr. Pepper. My son loves DP more than anything. As I placed the humungous box of soda into the car he looked over, raised an eyebrow and asked in a patient tone “Did you buy that to mock me?”

All I could do was laugh.
