Off To the Big City
I'm heading out in a bit to the Big City, as my dad jokingly calls Marshall, to pick WildChild up from my parents. Who I discovered yesterday are the source of a problem we've all been having with him....namely sneaking into the freezer & eating ice cream from the container.
While on the phone with me yesterday, my mom was dipping him some ice cream. I heard him in the background complaining, and then my mom said "Oh, you don't want to eat it out of a bowl, you'd rather eat from the container? Ok."
*groans* "Mother! I guess you know he gets in trouble for doing that everywhere else."
"Well, he doesn't want to use a bowl."
"So what," I said. "The rest of us are having problems with him sneaking into the freezer & eating ice cream out of the container."
"He can't open my freezer," she said. As if that made it alright.
"Mom, you're causing him to get into trouble from everyone else. Stop letting him eat out of the ice cream container."
And then what does she do? Takes the container away from him and tells him "You can't eat out of the container anymore. Ma says it's not nice."
Gee thanks, Mom. And I'd bet my last dollar she ended up giving it back to him after I hung up the phone.
Spoil him rotten they do.
