So, Dad is traveling. There are few things we need to make clear:1. Let's not announce the morning runs to Krispy Kreme, he really doesn't need to know they now have Birthday Cake Batter Doughnuts. Mom's thighs will announce that when he returns.
2. I know we all miss him, imitating him by walking around the house in your boxers scratching your butt does not help.
3. You can sleep in my bed, as long as you don't realize I am sleeping in yours.
4. The movies we watch in the den stay in the den.
5. If I don't feel like cooking, then you will eat the spaghettios and like them.
6. If you two start fighting, your Dad is not here, you are on your own.
7. When he calls you are under obligation to talk to him on the phone AND tell him how much you miss him. (Failure results in loss of Mom/Dad bed privileges)
8. We can all equally trash the house as long as well all equally run around frantically cleaning things up for one hour before Dad returns home.
9. Just because there is only one parent currently in the house does not mean I get the teenage angst of two.
10. When Dad finally gets home, I will not hop, skip and jump into a hot bathtub with a glass of wine as long as you put down your video games and cheerfully greet him.
Because if the dog is the only one greeting him at the front door - we are all in trouble.
