As I'm rewatching season 1 of Gossip Girl and he's already watched the finale with me so he knows who Gossip Girl is:
Scott: So stupid.
Me: It's all very interesting…
Scott: And it was _______ the whole time?! So dumb. (walking away) XOXO, Gossip Girl.
Me: Does it taste bad?
Scott: What? Oh. No. It's fine.
Me: Why'd you make a face?
Scott: Oh, you didn't see. I spilled it. I was just waiting to get yelled at…you know, like how when Scout puts his ears back when he's in trouble.
As I'm sitting at my computer, trying to format my lesson plan template…for the 3rd time in the last few years.
Scott: What are you doing?
Me: Being overwhelmed.
Scott: It's a hard knock life for Kristin…it's a hard knock life for Kristin (goes back to nailing plywood into the floor)
When he couldn't find something…
Scott: You threw them away, didn't you?
Me: No. I don't see how I could've…
Scott: You did because I saw them in the garbage and then I took them out because I knew you were going to throw them away.
Me: Where did you put them when you took them out?
Scott: Behind the garbage can.
Me: That's a really dumb place to put something that's not garbage. I probably thought they fell out and put them back in the can.
These are sneaker soles that we were discussing.
…and after the above conversation
Driving into the Home Depot parking lot…
Scott: Oh, a Goodwill bin. I'm gonna need that when I gather up all your stuff and drop it off tomorrow.
Me: What?
Scott: You throw away my stuff, I take yours.
Lake Pueblo State Park is south of Colorado Springs and it really feels like the desert. The town of Pueblo is pretty booming…lots of stores, restaurants, little shops, and a river walk. We plan to explore it again now that we know where to go. When I think of all the places we've been, this is definitely a new kind of environment!
