This morning, my son - the 15 year old

........ who cannot get out of bed.
........who misses two school buses a week because he gets out of bed at 0750 (bus leaves at 0800).
........who sits on the sofa and stuffs food wrappers down the side rather than walk across the room to the bin.
.........who goes to put something in the dishwasher, but when he sees it is full of clean stuff having just finished its cycle, stacks plates and cups up on the worktop waiting for someone else to empty it.
.........who puts clean clothes in the laundry basket rather than fold them up and put them away.

was downstairs in the kitchen today, dressed in school uniform, at 0730, emptying the dishwasher with a cup of tea made for me on the table.....
ConfusedShockConfusedShockConfusedShockConfusedShock

Is he on drugs?

Is there a major unreasonable request coming up, requiring girding of the loins......

Help!

I'm placing bets he has either FOUND GOD or he is slowly acknowledging he is GAY.

She is going to be gutted to have missed the jaffas/toasted teacakes/diggybics :(

Maybe we could save her one choccy digestive - she might need it after a heavy shift. :)

Sorry everyone, most inconvenient as I have had to go to work. There is an update after bus stop drive by but far too long to do on my phone, and i am running a very busy bedwetting clinic so sure you wouldn't want those poor laundry weary mums having to wait! knowing MNers they wouldn't care would much rather have the goss

Hope the biscuits last till I get home from work, give dog and oh minimal attention (in that order) and get on laptop!

Cannot believe I missed this until today...

MySweetPrince · 03/05/2012 16:36

Did you notice him at the bus stop because he was engulfed in a mustard cloud of Lynx? Or was the girl ( sure it's a girl!) draped over him?
