Car Chat

Today is NDs 7th Birthday, yesterday my sister brought him a gift card, and it immediately started to burn a hole in his little pocket. Senior left for school, and I took the boys to the store so ND could make a purchase, after an hour of going between the aisles, And me explaining to him that he only has $20.00 to spend,  he finally choose yet more Legos. ...  at least it is something constructive.

Anyways, the entire fiasco was wearing NW out. Now that he will be a big third grader he thinks he is an automatic adult. So, we are driving home. And he says to me:

NW: "Mom" ?
ME:  "yes"..
NW:  "tomorrow, can you give me one of those little pills you take to help you deal with me and ND, you know the ones that make you happy, when we are driving you crazy ?
ME: "What" ? 
NW: " I need something to help me deal with him, he is getting on my nerves, and driving me batty. he wore me out shopping and I need something to calm me down"
ME:  Shakes my head, keeping eyes on the road... " those are mommy's special pills, if I give them all to you, what will I do when you both are driving me bat crazy" ?
NW :  " maybe you should just soak in a hot tub of water, and have one of your special Icee's" ( frozen margarita)
ME:  "oh geez! "
