This Might Be

I almost titled this: The Boy Thinks He's Funny and I Don't Agree.

The day before his surgery, The Boy ended every request with because it might be the last time you ever (fill in the blank).

His solo conversation went something like:

• Would you make me a mini pie because it might be the last time you ever make one for me.
• You'd better kiss me goodnight because it might be the last time you ever get to do that.
• I need to pet the furbabies because it might be the last time I ever get to do that.

This went on for any number of ideas he had - then he'd finish his sentence with a laugh. And I would respond with a glare.

There are some things you just don't joke about. I would hate to have to wear his ring like this for the rest of my life.

I love The Boy...but he's pretty lucky I didn't kill him.
