My mom (Mimi) keeps Alex and my sister's little girl Ella. I called Mimi yesterday afternoon to tell her Clint was picking up Alex instead of me. She answered the phone and seemed.....pooped! I asked if Alex had been good and she was very hesitant (which is very unusual... she always says yes even if he really isn't).... she said she guessed but they had picked and fought with one another all day long.... she was tired.
I had to go to the grocery store last night, with all the other crazy folks..... we just didn't have a lot if we got iced in..... so when I got home I had this conversation with Alex.
Me: Hey Monkey, how was your day.
Alex: Good
Me: Were you a good boy today?
Alex: Yes....
Me: Did you and Ella pick and fight with each other today?
Alex: Nope, no fighting today.
Me: Really????
Alex: Yep
Me: That's not what I heard.
Alex: What did you hear? Who told you?
Me: Mimi said you all picked and fought with each other all day long....
Long quite pause.....
Me: Someone isn't telling the truth.
Alex: Who?
Me: Either you or Mimi...
Alex: Well.... I guess it is Mimi
Me: Well I need to call her and get onto her for not telling the truth.
Alex: Well..... I was just kidding.... maybe we weren't that good.
Thanks for all you do Mimi! We couldn't survive without you!

HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Mimi, do we need to put you in time out?
Mimi was not guilty this day... but I am sure she needs a time out for some other reason. I swear my parents are soooo different with their grandchildren, especially my dad! He is such a softy...or big fluffy bear as Alex says!
