Christmas Musings
I'm expecting Awesomeson, Awesome DIL and DGD Christmas Day! Yay! I have a guest bedroom that was once Chef's ferals room when they were coming to their entitlement sessions, I mean "visitation."
I've been cleaning it out of some old junk (I intend to get rid of Pumpkinhead OSS 28's sports team related baby blanket) but not just yet. As I was setting up a new bed frame and mattress, I noticed the bedroom passage door knobs are on backwards... At first I thought this was just standard operating procedure...Chef must have cobbed in yet another home repair/improvement/install. He only puts things in properly for actual customers, but races through anything at home leaving everything done half assed.
I asked him about it as it dawned on me that he was probably trying to keep his brats from locking themselves in the bedroom, despite it being fairly easy to unlock the door with a standard butter knife or flathead screwdriver.
Sure enough he admitted that was his intention. I will be reversing that door knob! Anyway, Awesomeson usually books a hotel these days. Its a 2 hr drive for them back home. But they do like to park their stuff in that room.
Chef was also talking about some movie he happened to see where an evil 8 yr old kid kept pooping his pants on purpose and how he would have "killed that kid." Which was odd as he seemed to have zero recollection of YSSstb 22 (the HousesHitter) doing that very thing when he was 7!!! And Chef ended up rewarding the brat for it with candy!

Selective memory.
Lots of these dads have selective memories. Back in the day, when the kids were young, DH87 used to say, "I'd never let an adult kid sit around all day. I'd make them get out every day, if all they did was sit in the Quik Shop parking lot".
Flash forward and all 3 of his kids had periods of sitting around here as adults. Of course he never remembered saying that.
