O the Joys of Parenting

We had a breakthrough today with Austin. He has been a bit irresponsible of late with time and his girlfriend so I was filled with trepidation when he called me today at 1 minute to 4:00 (4:00 being the time he is supposed to be home from visiting his girlfriend). I answer the phone sure I am going to hear some lame excuse about why he isn't going to be home on time or worse no excuse at all. (I don't love the lack of creativity!)

Austin: Andie, I am going to be 2 minutes late.

Andie: Like really 2 minutes late or you are just leaving Nampa?

Austin: No, I am 2 minutes away I just wanted to call since I was going to be late.

Andie: (shocked silence, then bursting with pride!)
