| Fall Weekend Routine |
My youngest son creates his own routines. For instance, he calls me every day after school, at about exactly the same time, while I am still at work. I might be seeing patients in clinic or in a meeting: he calls me. If I don't answer, he calls me again, until we talk even very briefly.
One time, I was at a meeting in Hawaii, so with the time difference, he called me mid-morning in the middle of a scientific session:
"Mom, I'm hungry...Can I have a banana?"
Sometimes the call makes the rest of my afternoon, like this one a few weeks ago: "Mom, I've decided I'm going to be Tom Sawyer for Halloween!"
Yesterday's call was all about routine:
"Mom...we had a substitute teacher today..."
"Did you like that?"
"No, I don't like substitutes. They don't teach things correctly."
To all our friends, routine or non-routine lovers out there, a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Till Later,
Anne
