Learning a Lesson

greetings from vacation.... six miles from our house.....

Happy Belated Grandparents Day.  Here's a story that illustrates the joys of grandparenting:

Patrick:  You are so mean Mom.
Me: Good to know.  Why am I mean today?
Patrick:  You make me do chores and all that stuff.
Me: That's part of living in this house, we all pitch in and do our part.
Patrick: Well, I'm just going to go live with Grandpa, then I won't have to do chores.
Me: Don't you think Grandpa made me do chores when I was growing up in his house?
Patrick: Yes, but he learned his lesson.  Now he knows better.
Me: speechless.
Patrick: Maybe someday you will learn your lesson too.
Me: It will probably be the day your first child is born.
