This was my last night at home for what will be a while, and I made dinner.  The set-up unfolded thusly--I prepared everything for seafood alfredo, but postponed the actually cooking until my mom got home from the gym.  Dad was home early for once, Keegan had been home since three, and so on. 

She arrives, we eat, and at the end of the meal when we're discussing dishes and clean-up and dinner making duties, when Keegan complains about eating so late in the day.

Keegan:  What I don't understand, is why it took Jessie so long to make dinner.
Jessie:  Waiting for mom.  It's polite to wait for family, you know?  And why is it a big deal, anyway?
Keegan:  I was hungry!
Dad:  What... don't you know how to operate a can opener?
Keegan: (pause, looks at me and Mom with a grin)  Why would I want to operate a can opener when there's someone to open the can for me?

There were face-palms all around, except for Keegan, who just looked pleased with himself.  Oy vey. 


I'm leaving tomorrow for Las Vegas.  I'm a little scared, I feel bad for leaving my parents a week early, I'm intimidated by my courseload for next semester, I'm stressed over settling back into my dorm again in a week.  In other words, Vacation has dissipated from my head.  I'm hoping it's a temporary thing; I still have another week!
