We understand each other.

The kids have testing today at school and the teachers have requested that the kids get a good night sleep and eat healthy breakfasts.  After filling a water bottle and giving it to my son (several times), I brought it outside to him while he was waiting for the bus. He brought it in from outside and placed it on the counter.

 

Me: Hey, take your water bottle!

 

Him: If I take it, it will completely obliterate my chances of getting up to walk around during the test!

 

Me: Oh.  Yes.  You’re right.  Leave it here



He is now eleven years old.  Happy Birthday, son!
