Every morning on my drive to take H to school my sister, Stephanie calls to chat with H and me. Mostly H but once she’s at school I get to chat with my sister. One morning as I was driving and Stephanie was making her way out the door to go to work –
Stephanie – Alexa turn down the music.…. ALEXA turn volume down two. ALEXA! PLEASE turn the music done.
Me – Alexa listens well.
Stephanie – Alexa turn the music down. She is not listening today.
Me – That is because she is too busy eavesdropping on your conversations.
Stephanie – Why? So she can send me stuff to buy?
Me – Yes, that is exactly why.
Stephanie – pft.
Me – Just like your smart TV watches you.
Stephanie – nervously laughs.
H – 🦗🦗🦗
Stephanie – continues to nervously laugh.
H – Wait. Do we have a smart TV at my house?
Me – Yep!
H – So it sees me?
Me – Yep!
H – ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?!?!?!??! I GET DRESSED IN THE LIVING ROOM SO IT SEES ME NAKED!
Me – YEP!
Stephanie – bursts out laughing – THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY!
Me – I know you were. You were looking for a G rated way to say it.
Stephanie – still laughing – I WAS!
Driving home from picking H up from school.
Me – How was your day!?
H – Can I tell you something?
Me – ALWAYS!
H – There is no field trips at my school until grade three!! NONE! I need to go back to my old school. This sucks.
Me – 🤦🏻♀️
Another after school pick up…..
Me – So glad to see you! How was your day!?
H – Terrible.
Me – Oh tell me about it.
H – Once we are in the car.
I assume it has to do with a disagreement with a friend at recess. We get in the car.
H – Can I tell you about my terrible bad day?
Me – Yep.
H – Pasta day was today.
Me – Okay?
H – It was late so we had to go outside for recess and THEN come in to have lunch.
Me – 🤔 – Pasta being late made it a terrible bad day?
H – Yes.
Safe to say she was probably hangry and did not want to wait any longer for her pasta lunch.

Not my first choice, but definitely not on the not going to eat list.
Who am I kidding? I have like three chocolate bars on the no list.
