TWO MORE BEHIND THE SCENES LOOK AT ROJO

SCENE I:

Rojo: Mom! You are not following directions! I said WAFFLES! Not THAT syrup, the OTHER syrup! Not THAT fork, the OTHER kind of fork!

Me: You're SOOOOOOO bossy! What makes you think YOU get to be the boss?

Rojo: DUH! It says so on my UNIFORM (done in the voice of Josh from "Drake and Josh" TV show)!


SCENE 2:

I go to my desk and see that Rojo has defied the rule to NOT TOUCH MY DESK PERIOD! Pens without caps, long strips of staples separated and everywhere, tape unrolled and stuck to important papers, Sharpie writing on notes that I can no longer read, I'm about to fume, when out of the corner of my eye I find a Post-It note. It's my "stickies" that say, "I meditate. I burn candles. I drink green tea... and still I want to smack someone." On there he has written in his scrawl, "ROJO AND MOM."

Drat, foiled again!

You just have to laugh, my dear. Don't you hate it when they make you do that despite yourself? My youngest told my husband one day that he "didn't DESERVE to be a boss in this house".

Love that post-it - I have it, too, and the one that says: I've childproofed my house--but somehow they still manage to find a way inside.

Perhaps you need to set up some booby traps for Rojo in your office...just a thought.

Perhaps a lock on the door?
There's something about "Mama's Things"..it like all of our things are one giant magnet that attracts sticky fingers and nosey adolescents. When you figure out how to keep them away, pleae let me know.
Love that little love note he left you -that boy has survival skills!

MAN is that boy adorable! I love him at 2:30 PM EST.

Plus, that is the best post-it I have ever heard of. I must find them immediately!

Must be "boys squeaking out of trouble" day?

Good thing they're cute.

Love.

Loving Rojo at 6:43PM eastern.

Don't you hate it when they get you like that?!

It's like when you're completely and utterly at the end of your rope and you hear, "Mom?" and answer (with considerable impatience): "WHAT?!"
and then you hear the answer: "I love you!"

love.
