"Hey Mom, Would You Open This?"

originally posted 05 OCT 2014

I'm nursing a back injury this week. I've been moving gingerly and am taking anti-inflammatories to help so I can move again. So when my sixteen-year-old son comes in a bit ago and says, "Hey Mom, would you open this," well, you can imagine the look of disbelief I gave him.

Keep in mind, this is the same son who works out with weights almost daily.

He has a special water bottle that stays in some sort of cooling device and he couldn't separate them.
I told him to ask his father. "No," he said very quickly.

See, for some reason my husband and son are now at that point in their relationship where they are both trying to prove which one is stronger. My son would rather I separate the containers because, if his dad did, he'd be allowing him an extra strength 'point'.

Well, just between you and me, I'm pretty sure our son is stronger now but I'd never tell my husband that. Shhhh...you didn't hear it from me.

And, minutes later, this turned into a two-part series:
