Mac Chats

A Tale From Dinner Me: Can we talk about the sleep trouble? we’re having? I’d like your help figuring out our problem.  Mac: (eating a chicken wing) I can’t talk to you right now. I’m eating.  Miah: It’s ok to talk at the dinner table.  Mac:  I could CHOKE. Masterclass issue avoidance. I swear he’s 14 most days.

  Mac and Miah watching the Amtrak today... Mac: Let’s take this train and go see Bennett.  Miah: this one’s going to Maine.  Mac: Let’s go to Maine! Miah: well then we’d be stuck in Maine, just us.  Mac: Mom would pick us up.  😂🤣😂

Me: Hey Cormac! I got your orange (nerf) ball out from behind the TV today! Mac: How did you get it?  Me: Guess! Mac: Did you lean way over? Or get a ladder? Me: Great ideas but nope.  Mac: Did you get a rope? Me: Ooh also good plan but nope. I used the DustBuster to suck it over and grabbed it.  Mac: Yay!

Mac: What’s “arguing” mean? Me: It’s when I tell you information and you disagree with it.  Mac: That’s not what arguing is!!! Sigh. 

Wake up! (Bedroom door slams open dramatically while I’m getting ready in the bathroom. The kid stomps into the bathroom) Mac: Mom, why weren’t you in your bed? Me: I’m volunteering today. To try to help other people. I need to be ready early.  Mac: I need YOU to help ME at home.  Me: Yes, I will do that too. How can I help you right now? Mac: I don’t need your help.  Exasperatingly adorable.

At dinner tonight.  Me: So how was your day at school? Mac: (with mouth full) I can’t answer you. My mouth is full.  Me: 🤦‍♀️ New nickname: Captain Loophole

Ice cream treats for rocking the barber experience on this cold, windy day.  “Mom! Come see the back!! It’s high and tight!” Indeed it is.  #hairlingo #mactivities #looksgoodbuddy
