Last week, after Corwin’s graduation, we went over to Jack’s house, a very somber affair because not only had Corwin and Jack graduated to middle school, but Anwen was moving on to high school. Gah!
Anyway, it was fun. I mostly just sat because, frankly, that’s what I do best, while the boys ran around and around the house. At one point they were a bit mean to Alice, so I decided let her have some revenge and tricked Charles in to coming over where I let Alice make a smoochie on him. Jack’s dad thought Charles’ reaction was hilarious, so he tricked Jack the same way. Jack went completely wild when exposed to Alice cooties1. Meanwhile, Alice is complaining because she didn’t get the smooch quite right. A bit tense, but still the kind of thing that can bring a smile to my face when writing about it a few days later. It’ll also be a great story to recount when Jack and Alice are dating in college. Or maybe Josh — Alice was calmed down by Josh’s mom pinning him and letting Alice do a well aimed smooch.
1 Corwin, for once having learned from experience, was too paranoid to be caught so easily.
Did you miss when I completely pinned Josh for an Alice smooch??
No, I just waited too long to write it up and had forgotten until you mentioned it.
Are you managing to cope without your boys in the house?
Actually, I was out of town last night, as I had a late Monday class and an early Tuesday class in Normal, so I stayed over. Ken really benefited…being home COMPLETELY alone!
