- Even when they are not home for dinner, they want to know what is for dinner or what was for dinner. It’s all about food for these boys. What will I miss or what did I miss? And often, they will eat again when they get home from dinner at a friend’s house – whatever leftovers there might be. I can definitely tell you, as a teenage girl, if I ate dinner at a friend’s house, I NEVER asked what the family had for dinner. Because I didn’t care that much.
- Michael joked that they just keep putting the same Patriots story in the paper day after day, and week after week. It was probably almost true until Deflategate.
- When I pointed out something obvious to him, Michael said, “Good thing I can’t read. Thanks for telling me.” V. sarcastic.

Michael announced he would like to be a color commentator
for tennis tournaments. That would be his ideal job. I couldn’t tell if he was
joking. He is good looking and that does seem to be a major requirement for
anyone on television. Next, he said he would be the host of a cooking show. We
thought this was hilarious and said he could make an egg sandwich each day,
over and over. (This is what he does in real life)

Michael made Grandma (who loves chickens) a birthday card
that said: Why did the chicken cross the
road? He heard it’s your birthday and he’s coming over. Complete with an
aerial view of the street and our house and a cartoon chicken. V. clever.

Now that I am not working, the kids are in school, and I
am no longer taking care of my mother……………I am sorry I didn’t visit you sooner.
I am so busy. Don't you get tired of people telling you how busy they are? BUT, if you wanna get something done, give it to a busy person.
