HBG has been doing his best to stay home in pajamas since we got back from Hilo a week and a half ago. This morning, his friend Adam is over and HBG has a hankering for loco moco. 

Can we go out to lunch?

Me: we could go for bagels or something. 

Can we go to that place really close that you and I went last week? 

(He’s thinking of a Namu, 2 blocks away, Korean influenced mighty fine version of loco moco)

Me: nah, I think it’ll be too crowded today. (Since it’s a beautiful and sunny Sunday)

Could we drive to Mission Bowl?

Me: no. Plus, daddy’s about to leave w the car. 

Could we taxi to Magnolia 2.0?

(Does my 11 yr old son really incorporate “two point oh” into his speech patterns that unconsciencously?)

Me: (laughing). no

How about Liberties Pub for burgers?

Me: you really want to go out for lunch, huh?

Well, you’re always trying to get us out of the house more.
