Here's a child destined for coffee
Setting the scene: Yesterday we had friends over. This morning we discovered a few things they'd left behind. And by the way, Griffin is not a morning person. That combination brought us this morning's conversation:
Griffin: Mom, how come when Connor and Aidan's friends come over, they always leave stuff?
Me: Honey, you know, they're not just Connor and Aidan's friends. They're you're friends, too.
Griffin: No, they're not.
Me: What about G3 (the one his age)? What about G4? What about their mommy? Don't you like them?
Griffin: (burying his head into me) Mom ... I just don't like other people!
Poor kid. I so agree with him, before the first cup ... or three.
