"Hi wife, I would like to see if you can watch son and daughter on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (August 28, 29, and 30), as long as you don't already have plans. Thanks, and let me know when you can."
This was her response...
"First of all I don't "watch" my kids...they stay with me. And second of all that's the weekend we are going on our cruise. We will not be home until Monday. Sorry."
She's going on a cruise with her parents. Perhaps 'watch' wasn't a good word to use, but I didn't mean anything by it, and I believe she knew that. I really want to go on this ride, and I believe that I'll let the kiddos stay with my parents that weekend so that I can go!
I haven't responded to her E-mail...don't know that I should. She knew what I meant.
