My conversation with Paddy on the way home today:
Padraig: Why didn't you pick me up on the bike today?
Me: Because it was 105 degrees outside.
Padraig: Oh, I wanna go to Starbucks.
Me: No, its too hot outside, we need to go home.
Padraig: Its not hot at Starbucks.
I have been going out with a super nice guy for a few months now. He has never been married and has no children of his own and he hasn't met my children yet. He travels quite a bit with his job and he is currently out of the country. Well last night we were on a video call and Paddy came in and started talking to him. (What a non threatening way to meet the kids. LOL) In the progression of this extremely entertaining conversation super nice guy says to Paddy, "Hey man, have you had a bath?" and Paddy nonchalantly responds, "No, its not Wednesday."
And one of my favorite Paraigisms: We were snuggling on the couch one day and he leans his head on my shoulder and looks up into my eyes and says, "You're a good woman, Mom. And you can cook."
Happy Monday.
