Family Meeting

We told the kids tonight that we are going to Disney in two weeks. The response from them was well underwhelming. It went something like this...

Mom & Dad: "Guys were having a family meeting!"

Silence

Dad: " Boys come into the family room now!"

Boys: collective groan...ten minutes later, "what?"

Mom & Dad: "Where's Kiefer?"

Aidan: "He's sleeping, he won't wake up."

Nolan: " Do you want me to jump on him?"

Mom: "No!"

Nina: "Mommy, milk?"

Aidan: "Are we going to have to clean something?"

Mom and Dad: "We have fun news. In two weeks we're going to Disney!"

Aidan: "We already knew, Kiefer saw it on your computer."

Mom and Dad: "Well are you happy about it?"

Aidan: "Yeah, can I bring a friend?"

Mom and Dad: "No."

Nolan: "Can I bring a friend?"

Mom & Dad; "No."

Nolan: "Can we drive? I don't like airplanes."

Mom: "NO! It's way too far."

Nolan: "Can we watch the Simpson's?"

Mom: "No"

Aidan: "Will you take me to Game Stop?"

Mom: "No."

Nina: " Mommy, milllllllllk!!!!"

Meeting adjourned.

Somehow this family meeting thing worked way better on the Brady Bunch.
