It was under the guise of seeing if I remembered to buy the pellets for the water softener. I told him yes - he gave a few additional instructions about what to do.
I asked him how is 4th was. He didn't mention hanging out with his sister and BIL - just said he didn't do much all weekend. Made one mistake said it was sad for our family not to be together. Wish I could take that one back!
He asked me if I planned to stay down here all week through next weekend. I told him yes - it was the one time I could get away from work before things get too hectic. I can't remember exactly what he said but he was trying to act like it was no big deal. I told him he was welcome to join us next weekend. He said we'll see how it goes. I told him to just let me know.
He asked me if our son was getting bored. I said no - you know him as long as he has his video games & TV. I said do you want to talk to him? He said sure if he wants to talk to me. So they at least talked for a couple of minutes. My son told him we were going to the pool today.
Before I put my son on the phone to talk to him he said something like well I was just calling to make sure you remembered the water pellets and knew how to do everything.
