- - - - - Not One, But TWO Sleep-Overs! - - - - -
So, there I am at work, and Mrs. OWW calls and says, "Does having our Second-Eldest Daughter (aged 10) stay over with her bestest friend on a Friday night give you heart-burn?" (Eldest daughter is 24, and lives in San Francisco. She does NOT ask Dear Old Dad about sleeping arrangements, for which Dear Old Dad is very grateful. She seems to have all her stuff in one sock, as I am NOT a grandfather before my time.)
Of course not! I did the pro-forma hem-and-haw, gave two harrumphs for good measure, and then gave my King-Of-The-Castle gracious consent.
A little later, after I got home, the Youngest Daughter (aged 7) came thundering up and asked "Is it OK if we have a sleep-over with Sarah?"
"Sure, Sweetheart," I sighed, "That's OK with me if it's OK with Mom."
"Mom already said it's OK. Wheeee!" And off she went.
A little later, MeelieNoh showed up with Sarah, and the conversation went like this:
"Hi, Sarah," says Good Old Dad, "Where's your over-night stuff?"
"Uhh...Mr. OWW, we came to get MeelieNoh's over-night stuff!"
"Oh." Furious thought by OWW. "I better call your Mom, right?"
And so I did, and shortly thereafter, Meelie-Noh went clattering down the street to Sarah's house.
Suddenly, Mrs. OWW and Yours Truly had a Friday Evening Without Children Underfoot.
We went out and had a very nice Grown-Up Dinner Without Children! Real Adult Conversation! Silence except for Grown-Up Voices when we got back home.
Gawd! Such riotous living!
It's a little too quiet around here, even at 11:15PM. I just checked the girls' bedrooms, and they're empty! But that's alright, I think. But... it sure is strange.
