Driving my almost a teenager kiddo to school this morning.
Silence and music for a bit.
My mind snaps to gear; plan for the day.
Must review the plan.
—
Remember, you have a game tonight.
mm-hmmm
Change into your your uniform after school.
mm-hmmm
Walk to the club like normal after school, ok?
mm-hmmm
I’ll call you when I am on the way to get you. We have to leave in time because of the Friday traffic.
mm-hmmm
Oh, make sure you order a snack too, there won’t be time to stop on the way and you’ll need something before the game.
mm-hmmm

Don’t say too much now.
You might use up all the words.
And, that would be such a bummer.
Snarky mama.

mm-hmmm
and an ever so slight and could-have-so-easily-been-missed
grin.
Or was that a smirk?
—
Have a great day, bug. love you.
love you too.

I’m smiling and laughing at the notion of going through the teenage years monosyllabically! I’ll take it and I love that confidence that we will enjoy the ride! I’m counting on it :

Like totally!! Agree, his grin said so much…that he got it but also that he knows he can *irritate* his snarky mama so easily. 🙂 I just laugh….for now! Xo

I have these types of conversations with Blain who is only 10 but already usually answering with a grunt or mm-hmmm it is so frustrating at times

It can be but I just know it’s all part of the proces so I just tease him about it when he becomes a man of few words!
