Leave it to my boy to never be one to beat around the bush. He's going to tell it like it is. Normally, I'm quite proud of that since I'm the same way. Don't piss us off or you'll hear about it and why. That tends to not be so nice when Samuel is aiming that at me, his mother! "Mom, when are you going to earn that Cadillac car?"
Tough question! Get right to the point, that's my kid! "Uh probably when Mommy starts working her Mary Kay Business hard enough to earn it, Son."
Quiet pause. "Oh" a few seconds later, "Mom, When are you going to start working hard enough to earn that Cadillac car?"
Ouch! too much time has been spent simply TALKING about earning the illustrious pink Cadillac and not enough time spent WORKING on earning it. That hit hard. I still think it's funny but it really pointed out to me that my family IS counting on me to do what I say I'm going to do. They don't want me to wimp out anymore. I don't want me to wimp out anymore.
A few moments later Samuel asks, "Mom, when you earn that pink Cadillac car, can we please paint it blue? I know you like blue better."
