My Mom Is In The Dog House

With me.
She took time off of work and jumped in the car. Then she grabbed my Dad and they headed off for Indiana.
What's in Indiana you ask?
My Grandpa and Grandma.
I could have gone.
I have nothing on my plate for a couple of days.
Who thought to call me?
Neither parent- that's who.

Grandma and Grandpa, I could be there right now regaling you with tales of China travel and raising a very smart kid. I could be there complaing about what I think is tendonitis in my right leg. I could be there eating all of the great food Grandma cooks.
But I'm not.
(Grandma this is where you look at my Mom with reproach)
Really. It would have been so much fun for my Grandparents to have full access to my talkative self and my talkative daughter.
Have fun Nellie.
Have fun Jack.
Just know that the Grands are secretly wishing I was there.
