Jacob’s Mom has been over to help me out with my office fixup. A couple of weeks ago we were in my office discussing various furniture layouts. The boys of course couldn’t resist coming in to help out with the discussions. I decided to get some revenge so I told Corwin that Jacob’s Mom had something to show him. Corwin’s face lit up and he went over to look. Sadly, for Corwin, it turned out that Jacob’s Mom showed him a big smoochie on the cheek. Corwin fled in horror.
A few minutes later Charles showed up, Corwin encouraging him in to the room. I did the same trick to Charles, telling him that Jacob’s Mom had something to show him. Corwin shouted encouragement to Charles until Charles got his own smoochie. I admonished Corwin for sending his brother off to suffer the same fate as he did, but Corwin was unrepetant. However, we did manage to trick Corwin a second time a little while later.
Jacob’s Mom was over again on Saturday, which we spent hauling everything out of my office. She managed to fool Corwin again, although when she actually wanted to show Corwin something she had to promise in many and varied ways that she wouldn’t kiss him before he’d come over. So the short term memory is working better. I’m sure it’s because Jacob’s Mom and I have been working with him on this.
