Driving me up the wall. Really.

February 19, 2009 2 Comments

Scene: morning; our living room.

Mom: Grant, please go take off your pajamas, get dressed and put your pajamas back in their drawer.
Grant: OK (exits, stage left.)

A few moments go by.

Mom: Grant? Did you get dressed?
Grant: Not yet.
Mom: Get dressed please and put your pajamas away where they go.
Grant: OK

A few more minutes go by.

Mom: Grant? Are you dressed?
Grant: Not yet.
Mom: Please do what I asked you.
Grant: I can’t.
Mom: (close to losing patience) Why not?
Grant: I can’t reach my pajamas.
Mom: They go back in the bottom drawer. Of course you can reach your pajamas. Put them away and get dressed!
Grant: OK.

A few more minutes go by. Grant’s breakfast is ready, but no Grant.

Mom: Grant! Are you ready?
Grant: No! I can’t reach my pajamas…. They are on the wall.
Mom: What do you mean they’re on the wall….? Oh.

There are several scenarios where mom can imagine the PJs getting from the little body to the wall.
None of them include following directions.

    I found you via Cindy at The Chicken Coop. You totally crack me up. I love your political views, too. Especially on the OctoMom.

    I love the Chicken Coop (and that silly Chicken Lady that writes it.) Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
