After a full day, I confess, Stan and I are usually relieved when Bonnie comes to pick up Joel at 11:30. (P.M.) We usually have a full day of little ones, from early in the morning, until Bonnie picks up the Bean after work. Naturally, by the time for Bonnie to get here...we're tired, and ready for our house to quiet down. Let's face it, we're old, and Joel's a handful. He's going to be 2 in June, and he's doing it with gusto.
I couldn't help it, I cracked up laughing at Bonnie tonight. Usually I try to listen while she tells me about her day.. offer her something to eat or a pop...and she stays a while, and then by midnight, sometimes 1 a.m. she goes home. By then, it's lights out and the next day is here before we know it, and it starts all over again.
Tonight though, *laughs* Joel went to get his shoes shortly after Bonnie came in. I put them on him and told him to tell Bonnie "Let's Go!" (He's learned to say that and it's adorable.) She picked him up and headed for the door, and I swear, Stan shut the door on her and turned out the porch light before Bonnie knew what was happening. She hadn't even stepped off of the threshold yet.
The driveway is dark and she had to get the car seat out of my car to put in her own car. She banged on the door and I opened it - to see Bonnie standing there with furrowed brows and stormy eyes. She said, "Damn, why didn't you just boot me in the ass while you're at it? Turn on the porch light at least long enough for me to be able to get the car seat out of your car!"
I laughed my ass off at her. She was totally miffed. After she loaded the car seat and Joel, she got in her car, rolled down her window and growled at me.
"Okay, mom, I'm in the car now, you can turn off the porch light."
I'm sorry Bonnie, that was just too funny. Forgive him. He's goofy!
