He's MY son alright.
Yesterday, at my sisters house, prior to my mothers 60th birthday party - and before I arrived.
My older sister Tracey said to my son "Wow Logan, you're turning into quite the little hottie, eh? Do you get your looks from your mom or your dad?"
Logan replied "My dad."
Tracey said "Well, you're a sexy beast! Is your dad a sexy beast?"
Logan - in an "I can't believe you have to ask" tone replied "Of COURSE!"
And he made his grandmother a birthday card. Wrote it himself (age 5, remember) and drew a picture inside. The picture was a blobby circle with a smiley face in it and sticks for arms and legs. He was kind enough to label the picture.
So, what picture did he draw for his 60 year old grandmothers birthday card?
Optimus Prime.
Yup, that's my boy! *Big proud parental smile*
In other news, Aoife went with me for the get-together. To take the bus would have cost $40 each one-way, so I rented a car instead ($120 plus gas). We went to the reservation first to get me a few cartons of cheap smokes - at $8 per carton, it's MUCH better than $9 per pack for name-brand smokes (I just wish I had known in advance that I'd be going, and I wouldn't have spent $50 on a carton of cheap name-brands on Thursday). Then we drove across the 403 through Hamilton and up to Mississauga. We stopped for a quick bite at a McDonalds, then headed across the 401 to Pickering to Traceys house.
Aoife likes my family, and they seem to like her. We joked that she could have them. Then I had to abdicate my position in the family, to prevent an incestuous relationship with her. :-p
