DOORS

My kids have a thing about leaving doors open. Doesn't really matter what kind of door, they just like it open. Garage door, front door, bedroom doors, bathroom door, fridge and cupboard doors. So I havean unconscious habit of following them around and closing such doors in order to 1) prevent injury and 2) stop the air conditioning from escaping out into the yard. This has been the way things have always been, really, and not much has been said. Until today. I got called out.

BEN: (Getting lemonade pitcher out of fridge. Naturally, leaves door open.)
ME: (Not thinking twice, I close the fridge door as I walk pass it.)
BEN: "MOM! Don't close it up! Don't close the fridge!
ME: "Why not? It's lettting cold air out, Ben."
BEN: "BECAUSE I GETTING LEMONADE, GENIUS....!!"
ME: (Smiling because my child thinks I am a genius...)

I love you Benny!
