day 3 part 2
First, so much thanks for the hints, tips, and advice on laundry, cooking and picking battles with an 11yr old. Still not sure how to decide on that last one. And here we go with another afternoon with my child.
Made it home just as the bus dropped Chance off. My biggest fear him coming home to an empty house at least not yet. I picked him up and we headed to put out a few rolls of hay.
Chance: can we eat at Jay’s tonight I want meatloaf but not yours.
I think when you are 11 you lose some filter from your brain to your mouth
Me: we will see depends on your mouth and answers
Chance: what’s that mean
Me: we start with how was school
Chance: it’s school it sucks, I got a 100 on my math test
Me: great that’s worth going to jays (a local café well only place to eat in town)
Me: when you left you had both shoes
Chance: I told you it was too little so I put it in my locker and forgot it.
Me: that makes no sense
Chance: you did it like all my jeans are too small and everything is pink now so why are you mad at me
While the tractor was filling with fuel guess what I learned from the internet putting shoes in the dryer can shrink them as I learned on here hot water can shrink clothes. I just assumed because shoes have been an issue since this mess started, he was making excuses not to wear them.
Me: you can stay home again and we can go get new ones tomorrow
Guess, that to make sense you need to know we live 1.5 hours from a real town with clothes and things like that
Chance: I can’t miss school again we have to wait till Saturday are, just don’t go it’s all good in one
Me: no, it is not good
Chance: dad, I can’t miss school
Me: you said it sucks so why can’t you miss
Chance: Dad stop I just can’t
Me: Buddy talks to me
Chance: I just don’t want to miss school
Me: fine you’re the one that needs shoes
I don’t get it other than he is his mother about something.
We had a great time feeding chance is a natural at running the tractor it’s so much faster putting out hay with two of us.
We did go to Jay’s Buddy ate like a pig Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and apple pie with ice cream plus my pie for a little guy he can eat.
His mood got so much better. Still not sure why he will die if he missed school
