In today's episode of 8 going on 80, we have the couch blanket saga.

Son: You know that blanket with skulls and snakes on it?
Me: Yes...
Son: Is that a couch blanket now?
Me: Yes...
Son: Why is that a couch blanket?
Me: Because it makes a good couch blanket?? Here, this one can be a couch blanket too. (Hands him a silver throw with glow in the dark stars)
Son: (Takes it) ..... I'm stealing this. (Leaves before I can respond. He's really good at that actually..)
Me: ... sigh.

My son is 8 going on 80..

Son: (barges into my room to give something to my husband, muttering to himself about how dark the room is..)
Me: Hey, you can't just come right in without knocking, what if I was changing?
Son: (on his way out now, and apparently completely disgusted with my need for darkness to sleep) why would you be changing in THIS (lack of) light?! (Walks out and shuts door without waiting for a response)

Apparently I need a nightlight guys. I feel judged.

Fun fact. Butchering chickens will take 5x as long as it should if your son figures out he can make them cluck while gutting them...

The electronics for the farm stand will be here next week 🫣 so now I feel like I have to get the floor done ASAP so we can open the week after next. In reality, I suspect setting up the software side of things is going to have some "expected unexpected" upsets though. All these farm stand owners who don't have redundant cameras and hidden cameras and redundant hidden cameras are brave, but that life ain't for me. I'm a collect evidence and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law type girl. There's a lot of very nice people out there that let a lot of things go that I see reels from.. I'm not one of them lol. Aries sun and mars with a scorpio moon I guess..
