sweet pea Brent (calling me on his way to the airport): Tell Cameron to go check out the back porch when he gets home in the pet carrier.

alarmed me (not at home): WHY? what is the pet carrier doing out, and what the heck is in it?!?!

SPB: something. just tell him to check it out.

me: NO. what the frick is in it?? and why would you do that right before you leave??

DAB: I just found it when I went outside.

me: WHY? WHY would you bring it into our yard, and WHY would you put it in a carrier, and WHAT THE HELL is it?!?!

DAB: a turtle. he was crawling across our driveway.

me: so why didn't you just let him go on his merry way?

B: I thought Cameron would think it was cool.

me: and he will. and he'll want to KEEP IT. and you're GONE ALL WEEK.

B: I put lettuce in there and some water. he'll be fine until I get home.

me: fabulous.


Now I have a son, who is in love with a TURTLE, who he has now named "Lettuce" ("because that's what he likes to eat") and a husband who is in L.A.

Nice.

Men. Hmpf.

On another note, Cameron's last day of preschool was today. *sniff* I'll post pictures later. They gave out awards to all of the kids for something special about them. Do you know what my son's award said? Are you ready for this?? Some kids were most helpful, some were best dressed, etc. etc. Do you know what my son got?










"LADIES MAN"


what the crap am I going to do with him when he's a high school kid? Add that to the fact that the Sunday school teachers call him "McSteamy", and I'm getting a little concerned....
