Scouts (out loud):
We don't have enough meetings...we like our Girl Scout meetings and we miss each other. Can we have more meetings?
Me (in my head):
- Did you just say you want "more meetings"?? I actually have no life and I'm totally chuffed with myself because I must be doing something right for you to ask for that so I'm very psyched!
- Oh (insert nasty word here) I am about to get it in the neck for:
- the time we meet
- the place we meet
- the time the meetings start
- the time the girls get home from the meeting
- the necessity for them to eat dinner first
- the necessity for them to do homework after
- the exact dates of the meetings that don't mesh with this girl's ukelele performance and that girl's pony dressage classes.
- the cost of junk food'
- the nutritional value of junk food
- the traffic on the freeway
- the fact that so many people feel the need to commute after work
- the price of crude oil
- the weather patterns in North America
- Ummm in case you think that I am the one who wants more meetings...see the opening statement above.
- Can someone please just tell me where and when to show up? I will happily pay for my crude oil, drive my daughter through the wilds of commuter traffic, feed her whatever junk food I can find along the way, and be there on time. I will. I just don't want to have to negotiate about this anymore...
- Pretty please!
Me (out loud):
That sounds like a great idea...I'll make it happen :)
