What a yesterday we had.
After I got off work, der B and I headed up to Dover for some supplies shopping, and then picked up the grandlads. Der Grampa and had given them both gift cards from Borders, and since der G also had a birthday bonus from same he decided it was time to cash in.
Alex, nine, decided he wanted a DVD set of Pokemon movies. Der B called Magic Mommy about this, and she flatly refused, because she "hates" Pokemon, no further reason needed as far as she is concerned. Alex had a meltdown, fortunatley not too loud of one. William, also fortunately, was meltdown-free. They both eventually found books, and we headed on to a restaurant, where they were both fairly well behaved... but the service was incredibly slow.
Then we headed on back to their home, where Alex told Magic Mommy that he hates her, and she replied nonchalantly "Well, I hate you too."
Magic Mommy, Alex, William, and der Grampa are all heading off today for Cub Scout Camp, William officially for the first time as he is now old enough to be a cub. I shall be all alone in the house for one night.
And that is the end of my report.
