Vinegar and Watermelon     



My youngest has developed an odd relationship with smiley-faced erasers.

The pink one is "Juicy", the yellow is "Bob," the green one is "Buddy," and the orange is "Ooey."

(Don't ask)

I have a gigantic bag of these erasers from someone's 6th birthday party several eons ago. I didn't realize until recently that I still had them. Apparently, #3 son was on a mission to indoctrinate EVERYTHING that has a face into his little world. Lately it's mini erasers. Yesterday it was socks. What tomorrow holds is a mystery... that is, until tomorrow happens.

SO...
Who here has been reading about MY adventures in tormenting the a/c guy?

WELL... with Friday's deadline looming only 24 hours away, I half-wondered whether or not this guy would take my threat as seriously as I wanted it to be taken.

E called me this morning...

Apparently I can be scary when provoked. And, by making the aforementioned THREE phone calls per day (since Tuesday)... with a hearty mention of an attorney, investigative reporters, AND a full-page spread in ALL of the local newspapers... SOMEONE decided that HE is stopping by tomorrow.

Hmm...

Curious, I asked E if he would be showing up to grovel and whine or actually DO work.

He said he didn't know, but HE would be staying home tomorrow morning while the a/c is here.

(SOMEONE'S afraid of me...)

(heheheh!)

I, in turn, responded with... "He BETTER come with the RIGHT parts and the intent to FIX it or you're going to have to HOLD ME BACK."

And, ya know what? E is good at holding me back... sometimes. The 10% of the time he isn't being a diversionary tactic, I run amuck... like a she-devil prone for attack.

Except it's not in defense of my children...
NOR in defense of myself...
It's the PRINCIPLE of the matter... and that's what I'm fighting for.

($1 to the person who correctly predicts what will end up happening on FREAKY FRIDAY.)
