too good not to post

Conversation today:

Child: Can I sit in the library and read until the basketball game starts?
Me:  Sure.  Hey wait, is there going to be a parent out there looking for you and wondering where you are?
Child:  Well, maybe my mom.
Me:  Why don't you go tell her where you are?
Child: Nah, it's ok.
Me: Are you sure?  I don't want to take the heat for you with your mom.
Child:  Trust me.  I've been living with my mom long enough to know how to handle her.


HOW IS EVERYONE?????  Sorry I have been MIA.
