We had a birthday in our household last week.
Quietly I suggested to the chips off the old block
that a surprise visit for tea/dinner whatever
you want to call an evening meal,
would be appropriate.
We worked out who was going to collect the takeaway,
no expense was to be spared.
Both boys arrived, promptly, with flowers.
Then the inevitable discussion began about who was ‘Favourite Son’.
So it went…No. 1 declared he was, because his flowers were better.
No 2 countered with ‘I got Mum’s favourite colour”
No 1, found some of the favourite colour in his bunch,
and reclaimed his perch.
Honestly! It was like I was back in a Grade 2 class…
After No. 1 had departed for the evening,
No. 2 pointed out that he had provided
the favourite colour ribbon and ‘…I tied it myself…’
So that makes me ‘Favourite Son.’
I have to add that MGW had been in bed
for half an hour when this comment was made.
Now, for one final detail. After nearly thirty years
I would have said MGW’s favourite colour was black.
Again I am just hanging in and that’s all.

Thank you on all counts. Whenever they get together that is the banter…although it seemed more pronounced last week.

Yes, there are good kids…although I have been booked in for extreme and death defying sports. I am beginning to think flowers would have sufficed 🙂

That first photo is extraordinary, with the petals and colors, it becomes abstract and glorious. As for siblings. Would you really want them to change?

My computer is going silly. I’m sure I replied to you a few minutes ago. You are correct…we wouldn’t want them to change in the slightest.
