Sometimes you have to collide with a corner before turning it and yesterday Son and I had one such collision. Don’t worry, we weren’t in a car or anything; we were just in the kitchen verbalizing a fair bit of angst with each other. Much later in the day, having extricated each other from the crash scene, we both realized that we were not angry with each other, but angry with ourselves, so we sat outside in the dusk and managed to turn the corner.
This morning, knowing that today we would be running in the same direction, I sipped my first coffee with a feeling of anticipation and waited for Son to wake up. It wasn’t until I was into my second coffee that I heard his footsteps in the house so I went into the kitchen and, thinking he was in his bedroom, I called out, “Good morning! I’m so glad we had that talk yesterday because I think it’s just that we’ve both been in a kind of rut so a bit later, when you feel up to it, we’ll get out of the house and go to town. We should go to a restaurant for lunch – do you want to go to that one on the beach?”
When there was no answer, I was a bit mystified until I went into the bedroom to find Son still fast asleep. Then I heard the footsteps again and realised it was King peacock on the roof!
You gotta laugh!

Take the peacock out for lunch, perhaps!
Or else eat it?
Thoughts…
Glad you sorted it out.
I did laugh!
Glad it was the peacock on the roof and not the thing in the attic!!!

Me too!
Well, that story gave me a really good laugh.
Thanks for sharing that one……..
Yes, I felt pretty stupid talking to myself like that!
Fantastic sharing Jules. I loved thinking of you talking to son, then your face, your reaction when you discovered son still asleep. You crack me up in the best ways.
Thanks!
Consider it a dress rehearsal 🙂
Glad things are sorting themselves out.
The real thing went well – good day all around with the brat!
Great!
Hahaha!
Had two squirrels run across the roof and it sounded like a stampeding herd.
Amazing how loud anything is on the roof!
