The Boy

Date November 22, 2009

Me: (hollering upstairs for him to get in the shower) – “Get in the shower!”

The Boy: “OK”

Me: (several minutes later) - “I don’t hear water running!”

The Boy: “OK, I’m getting in, I was just finishing up watching something on television about Jesus.”

And mom does the ole head tilt and eye squint of suspicion all the while thinking, “good one boy, good one.” Because really, what could I say to that one? He has always been creative.

P.S. In his defense, he may very well have been watching something on television about Jesus. I wouldn’t be surprised in other words.
