Yesterday morning when I walked, bleary-eyed, out of my bedroom to make the morning coffee I discovered my 9 year old sitting at the dining room table sipping a large mug of fresh hot tea and reading Calvin and Hobbs.
Weird.
"I wanted to get an early start on school, Mom."
Weirder.
This morning at 5:55 I heard an elephant in the kitchen wrestling with the stove. When I got up 45 minutes later I discovered my 3 yo, my 5 yo, my 9yo all sitting at a set table eating scrambled eggs and toast and hot tea. My also bleary-eyed 16 yo was standing by the table looking shocked as the 9 yo handed her a plate of breakfast.
There was a plate for me and my husband as well.
O.k.?!?
So I did what any self-respecting mother would do. I instantly taught my 9 yo son how to make coffee.
Weird works for me.

Claire says this is AMAZING! I like the "don't ask, just teach" attitude : )
This is awesome! You must have that knack my mom has (had). I used to think rubbing lotion on her feet & doing her nails was fun. I didn't realize it wasn't fun until I hit puberty.
Crazy.
weird = AWESOME!!
Maybe you can sleep in now?
Love it! What an awesome phase to enter.
