Okay, not really. Some of you know what a complete PITA he is at times. :grr:

In the space of 1/2 hour he asked/said to me:

1. My medicine box is empty (D'oh, doing that on purpose) (Not really, but my friends have suggested it)

2. We are out of bananas (You are the only one who eats them)

3. When you go to the store pick up some oregano (I have a Costco sized bottle in the cabinet)

4. Where's Katherine? Me: Who? Him: You know, Black is Beautiful. *Kady is the young friend of my daughter's we took in. I was just waiting for a racial reference.

5. I am out of wine. Me: Okay. I'll get you some. Him: How much is it? Me: 6-7 dollars. He hands me a fiver.

6. I need to get an appointment with the eye doctor. I can't read anymore. I need new glasses. (No, asshat, you can't read anymore because you had a stroke which impaired your left eye and you are currently wearing a state of the art prism that cost me $800)

7. Is there a CVS here, I need to get some cologne. (No we have no services here at all, dim bulb)

Are you noticing a pattern here, folks? Me. Me. Me. I. I. I.

I think I will take him to the no kill shelter and drop him off. Not really. Well, maybe.
