The Dog Ate My Homework

Me on my best wave tonight.



Vinny boogieing it up.

Thursday evening, 8 o'clock, Vinny and I are just getting out of our wetsuits and into our clothes.

"If you want your screen time, you better play Angry Birds on my phone, in the car, on the way home," I say.

"I can't have my screen time," says Vinny. "I haven't done my homework yet."

"What?!" I say. "Do it now. If it's not done when we get home I'm going to be in big trouble with Daddy. Then our after school surfing gig will be terminated."

Goddess knows Mommy needs surfing therapy just as much as the kid.

"I can't," says Vinny. "My hands are frozen. They won't work. I'm just going to read my book."

"What?!" I shriek. "No reading! Daddy is going to be so upset WITH ME if you haven't done your homework."

But my words fell on deaf ears, for Vinny was completely lost with Harry, Ron and Hermione somewhere in Diagon Alley.

"How many times have you read this book?"I ask rhetorically. "Too many times. Do. Your. Homework."





The kid went on reading to my annoyance.

Ugh.

If I hadn't taken him surfing his homework would be done and his hands wouldn't be moonlighting as popsicles. There was only one thing to do, blast the heater.

"Ah, that's better," says Vinny. "I'm starting to feel my hands. I can try to do my homework, again."

Praise the Lourdes and kiss the Goddess.

"Are you almost done?" I ask, as we pull into the driveway.

"Yeah," says Vinny.

"Okay, good finish it up in the car," I say strategically.

There's absolutely no reason unfinished homework needs to walk into the house tonight.


Vinny


Me.
