a lesson in house rules
Father in Law: We can eat whatever we want! I’m on VACATION!
Michael: Oh yeah! I’m on vacation too! For four days!
Me: YAY! I totally forgot about that. I get to sleep in tomorrow!
Michael: Wait. What? Is this like the rule about how when you are sick, I sleep on the couch? And then when I am sick, I sleep on the couch?
Me: So long as you know how things work.
much later:
Michael: So, are you watching the Lakers with dad and me? It’s the playoffs!
Me: no, man. I’m too tired.
Me: Do you feel like I false advertised myself? You married me in part because I was such a huge laker fan and now I can’t even be bothered to watch a playoff game?
Michael: yes.
