Momming in the Morning

On the pleasant, stress-free drive to school today I tried to have a love-in, tender 'mom'ent with my thirteen year old son.

"Did you remember to bring your lunch?"

"Yeah...whatever..."

"Did you remember to brush your teeth?"

"Yeah...whatever..."

"Did you finish all of your homework?"

"Yeah...whatever..."

"You look nice today!"

"You don't."

"Hey, watch your mouth!"

"How do I watch my mouth? I am too busy watching yours."

"True dat, Henry."
