By Day 2 He'd Had It

"MOMMY!!!" he bellowed the evening we arrived. "Yes, Chago?" "When are we going home?" "How many more days, son?" "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, TEN!" "A few more, son." "Eleven, TWELVE!!!" "Just a couple more, Chago." "Thirteen...fourteen?" "That's right, son."

"MOMMY!!!" he bellows the following day. "Yes, Chago?" "When are we going home?" "How many more days, son?" "Fourteen!" "No, that was yesterday. Take one away." "Thirteen!" "That's right, son."

"MOMMY!!!" he bellows every day for the next 12 days, and counts down each and every moment until he's back in his own bed.

"MOMMY!!!" he bellows once we're back in California. "Yes, son?" "I wanna go home." "Where are we, son?" "HOME!!!!!" he yells smiling from ear to ear.

Such a silly boy.
