Tristen really wanted to get a feel for what being a “mom” feels like, so she asked if she could take Scout this morning and feed him, dress him for church, etc.  I said fine, but to have him there on time - which she didn’t.  On the way to church, my mom asked if I had ironed Scout’s outfit.  I told her that I hadn’t, and that ironing was a “mom’s” duty.  I then picked up my cell phone to remind Tristen that her duties included ironing.  She told me there was no way she was going to iron the outfit.  I told her she had to bring him in a nicely pressed outfit.  She said she would do that WITHOUT ironing!

Scene 2 –

I am sitting in church.  Skylar gets my attention to tell me that Tristen has arrived with Scout.  I look back, and there is the cutest boy I have ever seen wrapped in a darling church blanket.  I thought his hair looked a little odd as it was totally slicked down and looked like it was styled by Hitler’s same guy.  I figured she just had bad taste in baby boy hair.  Then it was obvious that Tristen was up to no good when the blanket fell down and I saw in HUGE white block letters…”WILL CRY FOR FOOD”.  Tristen had “found” a nicely pressed, terry cloth, bright blue onesie that had “will cry for food” written on the front.  My mom was mortified, and I laughed, nodded my head yes and gave Tristen the thumbs up signal.  My mom expressed her disgust, and Tristen said, “You are lucky I even had this outfit.  I was going to put him in one of my workout t-shirts and just tie the bottom in a knot.”  I have to admit…that would have been even funnier! I also have to admit that Tristen’s kids are doomed!
