the foolish son

Steven: "Mom, what's for dinner tonight?"
Me: "I don't know. I was thinking of making stuff." (sausage and potatoes)
Steven: "Can't we have something else? I was looking forward to actually eating tonight."
Me: "You can eat or not eat. I don't care. But that's what is for dinner. And you had better watch the way you are talking to me. No, I have a better idea. We will have something different. And you will cook it."

(Steven thinking he is beating the system chooses salad off the menu list.)
(we devour the salad and after dinner)

Me: "Thanks for dinner son. Now you can clean the kitchen. That's part of cooking you know."

Foolish son. Mom knows best.
