Note 31 : of bribes and white flags...

" is it another 12 hour workday dad?" she called me at work at asked

"Yes, sweetie dads almost leaving..what should I get you wen I'm back" I bribed..

"Nothing today, just come home, Me n ag are waiting for dinner" she said curtly

" why haven't you kids had dinner yet" I sighed ..

Lil n me had this exact same conversation every day.. It had been 3 weeks since the workaholic in me came to life ..again..

There was hardly anytime for the kids..

I came home, 11pm the clock read, they were at the dinner table, exhausted and hungry..

"why" I asked myself..

I hurriedly changed and joined the grumpy angels at the dinner table..

Deathly silence amplified as food was served..

"so who's on for the X-Men this weekend" I tried to cover my guilt up..

Silence, the two had ganged up against me.

"mavshi's getting old, theres no.salt in the food !!" attacking their favorite lady..

Ag passed on the jar with a bang..

My tired mind - looking for a.way to break the ice..

"the heat is catching up on the garden Agnes, we must probably build a roof"

Nothing..

So I surrender..

"okay, I promise I'll be in by 7 tomorrow and we will go out for dinner and then a walk on the terrace and ice cream. Please talk !!" I gave up and they were convinced..

"okay" they both said, together.

"xmen will be good in 3d so we will have to go to cinemax" Ag added... It was the farthest movie theater and I always preferred the one next to the house..but

"yes, cinemax is the best" white flag in both hands..

They both smiled.. So did I..

You outplay the biggies in the world and 2 cute little pretty women bring you down with a smile..

Hdk, ag and lil.
