The moment he gets in the door…..
Rockstar: Mum. See my tummy?
(It’s a trick question – he probably didn’t eat in school again and I’ve said before that he has totally no tummy when it’s empty.)
Me: I cant wait to hear your excuse for not eating today.
Rockstar: Tsk <mildly annoyed> wha-aat…
Me: Without checking I know you didn’t eat your lunch – you’re trying to get me to say you still have a tummy. You come up with all these reasons for barely touching your school lunch right.
Rockstar: Yeah I haven’t thought of a new one yet.
Me: Well, how bout the truth, you’re too eager to go out and play.
Rockstar: <reluctantly> Y-eah o-kay.
Me: Boring?
Rockstar: Yup. <long-suffering, theatrical sigh>
Me: Okay, so what great work of fiction have you dreamed up now?
Rockstar: Hmm… Ok – Too much cheese in my sandwich.
Me: Since when do you not eat cheese?
Rockstar: In a sandwich. With salmon. <shrugs>
Me: That was sausage.
Rockstar: Oh. Hee. Then I didn’t know it was sausage.
Me: <examining sandwich> There is one bite taken out of it. You knew it was sausage. (In fact he likes cheese, sausage and salmon). And I know you found some new area to play in. (He was just talking about it). What else ya got?
Rockstar: How about I’ll eat it now?
Me: Yes. Please.
So Rockstar eats most of his lunch – at 4pm after school – and then his normal huge dinner at 6pm when he declares he’s “hungry again.”
This was taken before he went to school on photo-taking day. I was trying to do something about the bed-head. He was pretending to be a cornered wild animal.
