Me: "Was I supposed to ???"
Kiddo. "Yes. No. Yes. No. But WHY didn't you wake me!!???"
Me: "Didn't know I had to ...... "
Kiddo: "Do you know what time it is !!??"
Me:"Uh, yes."
Kiddo: "Do you know how long I have slept ???!!!"
Me: "Uh, yes."
Kiddo: "I mean, I went to bed at midnight. Not 5 am. Do you know what time it is???!!!"
Me: "Uh ..... "
Kiddo runs into the bathroom, slams doors, wiggles half-dressed along the hallway, throws on his coat, halfway out the door ....
Kiddo: "Mom, say good-bye to me? Kiss?"
Me:" Uh ....."
Kiddo: "See you tonite at 8."
And gone.
