I was questioning myself on "did I post already?" but I checked twice and I hadn't. I hope.
Grocery Shopping....and an argument. Yesterday daughter and I stopped at the grocery and I purchased a small 3 inch square of cake and a jar of chocolate ganache. I had previously told son not to let me buy these things... but I was with my daughter and she said go ahead.... this is where the politics of adult children causes me trouble.
I just wanted a slice of cake- a 3 inch by 3 inch square. Not an entire cake like I usually purchased for the Holiday Season. One little square.....so... I had a lecture about that piece of cake and that jar of chocolate.
The thing is this same man was SUCH a pain in the ass as a child.... he actually said I couldn't possibly be his mother as I was not smart enough...I think he was three going on four years old at the time. He already knew how to read but didn't know what the words meant......I always had a dictionary handy with definitions, images and examples suitable to the experience of a three year old... My Life was a Nightmare.
Well, I thought it was until he started school...then I really was living in the nightmare (he spoke to ALL adults the way he spoke to me).......until they scooted him up a year (the only teacher willing to have him in class was 3rd grade and he was in second grade) and then into gifted and talented when we moved to Chicago....after testing him to see if he was .....I don't know what they thought he was......turns out he was just very intelligent. And dismissive of people who were not.
Like me. I just don't think the way he does....but I should have let the high school whatever give me that test after they tested my brother. They REALLLY wanted to test me. I think I would score high on the opposite side of the spectrum my brother and son are on. So VERY Opposite.
The book I chose to read after the argument....I didn't like it. So I am going to select another one. And keep doing that until I find one I enjoy reading.........I have my new ice cube tray in the freezer making ice...it's 2 pm....I just had a raisin bagel and whipped cream cheese- now I am having a reheated coffee left over from breakfast time. I'm calling it lunch.
