Survivors

Me: "Come on, Dawson, its time to go to the store..."


Dawson: "No, I dont want to go. I want to stay here and pick wildflowers."


Me: "Ok, have fun being home alone. Watch out for the monsters."


Dawson: "Ok, I will. Bye."


...a few seconds later...


Dawson: "Anabelle! Are you staying here?"

Anabelle: "Nope. Im with Mom."


Dawson: "Stay here with me... its gonna be lots of fun."


Anabelle: "...welll.... I dunno...can you take care of me?"


Dawson: "Yep."


Anabelle: "Can you get me snack?"


Dawson: "Uh-huh... all by myself."


Anabelle: "Can you make us dinner if she doesnt come back for a long time...?"


Dawson: "I can make dinner... as long as you like breakfast for dinner..."


Anabelle: "You can make pancakes?!?!?"


Dawson: "Well, no... I can make cereal... but I just cant pour the milk. But we can still eat cereal for dinner..."


Anabelle: "OK!!! Mom! Im stayin with Daws."


So its settled, then.


My kids don't need me anymore.


As long as I leave the cereal on the counter where they can reach it.
