To think DS(17) has been kidnapped by aliens

[GnomeDePlume]

He had his mobile phone on him (which he answered). He also has his front door key on him.

This means that DH and I can go out and not come back to find DS sat disconsolately on the front step.

He is clearly growing up and realising his actions (forgetting things) have consequences (sorting on a cold doorstep). Well done for not pandering and staying in, this has meant he has had to learn!

Yup, he is growing up (at last). We went out and came back again. He even hoovered as requested.

Well I wish the aliens would abduct my ds1 as he still hasn't done the dishwasher that I've asked him to do again and again!

I'm reporting this thread. 17 year olds hoovering - pah! OP you are clearly a poorly disguised troll.

He's cleaning huh? You sure there wasn't a party or friends over?

I'm joking.

He sounds like a good kid. :)

Only 5 years to go then... Could you please ask the aliens if they can pop over a bit earlier than scheduled?

Ds is also interested in alien eyes that make you see things that are viciously hiding in plain sight!

he is good but just tends to get totally a little absorbed in whatever is the hobby du jour.

Must be something in the air, DD1 (14) actually took the post out if the letterbox this morning and put on the right shelf so we could find it.

Is it the 'Santa' effect do you think?
