Conversation from this morning:

Mom:  C’mon Duke, let’s go brush your teeth before we go to school.

Me:  I am going to stay at home by myself today with Prescott.

Mom:  No, you’re not.

Me:  But Prescott gets to stay at home by himself.

Mom:  Prescott is 13.  When you are 13, you can stay at home by yourself, too.

Me:  But Mom!!!!

Mom:  Besides, if you needed something to drink or eat, who would get it for you?

Me:  Prescott

Mom:  Prescott can’t open the refrigerator.

Me:  Yeah, Prescott doesn’t have hands.  But Daddy can help me.

Mom:  Daddy is at work.

Me:  No, he’s not, he’s standing right here (looking over to the left)

Mom:  Really, I can’t see him.

Me:  Yes, he’s right there.  Dad, can you get me some milk to drink?  (pretends to drink) Um, that’s good.  Dad, can you fix me some lunch?  (pretends to eat).  Yummy!  Peanut butter and jelly is my favorite.  See, now I can stay at home by myself.

So, Mom didn’t go for it.  But it took her awhile to tell me that as she was laughing so hard.  I guess I will probably try again tomorrow.

However, here’s what happens when I am left alone for just a few minutes.  Can you imagine what would happen if they left me for an entire day?
