Let’s define the word “weekend.” Pretend your son says he will be home on Labor Day weekend. How would you define this?
A. He will be home from Friday until Monday.
B. He will be home part of the weekend.
C. He will only be home 1 day & plans on driving right back the following day.
How many of you picked C? If you did, you know my son better than I do or you’re just a real good guesser.
Being somewhat slow & stupid, I thought he would be here for the entire weekend or, at least, for most of it. I thought, “Gee, wouldn’t it be nice to have the family over since no one really got to say good bye to him before he left for D.C.” I then invited people over for Sunday. When I shared this with the boy, he informed me he had planned on leaving on Saturday but now he supposes he’ll have to stay until Sunday and people better come because he doesn’t want to stick around just for me.
And following up on yesterday’s UPS rant, the guy claimed he attempted to deliver the package. I called and said, “Uh, no. He parked the truck and then he left without even getting out.” They sent him back & I got my package. From now on, if at all possible, I will have to specify that I do not want anything sent via UPS.

I guessed that one! Boys are notorious for thinking of themselves first and other people somewhere down the line. Have a great time with your family this weekend.
