This Kid

“Mom, it snowed a little last night.”

“I know, barely. I thought they were calling for about an inch.”

“It snowed at 3 a.m.”

Inwardly, so he can’t see the bad parenting I’m exhibiting in my heart, I roll my eyes. This kid and his know-it-all remarks sometimes drives me to resort to such horrible behavior.
“Oh, how do you know?” I say it as a statement, an afterthought that doesn’t demand an answer, though I know he’ll oblige.

“Well, the Accu Weather on the computer at school said it was going to be snowing at 3 a.m.” (And I don’t even know how you spell Accu Weather at this moment.)

I look at him dumbfounded. “Oh my goodness, you are Kevin.”
