So after escaping Angus coming into our home, yet again, 230 rolls around the next day and sure enough here comes Angus.... Jess runs outside with enthusiasm and is thrilled that Angus brought his scooter.... they trade, Angus uses Jesses skateboard and Jess uses his scooter. About thirty minutes pass by and they want a snack, it was pretty warm out so I offered popsicles, and of course they all wanted one.... now here came my warning... the previous day I had been kind enough to give out juice boxes, but much to my dismay they were found empty by my driveway and street the next day! I was not happy about this and spoke with Jesse and before handing them the popsicles informed them if I find trash on the ground again it would be the absolute last time I gave them anything... angus just laughed and said "its not a big deal, I do it at home all the time." To wish I Kindly responded "if your mother is okay with trash on the ground and in her home, that is okay with me... I however am not okay with it, and if you would like to play here and enjoy a snack you will follow my rules." He just looked at me astonished and said "Okay." To be quite frank I doubt anyone has ever spoken to him like that. So I proceed in passing out the popsicles, and only Jess and the older brother said thank you. Not that I was surprised. About 10 minutes later the ice cream truck comes and jess starts screaming "mom, mom.... I need a dollar.." "umm Jess you just had ice cream you arent getting another," "no mom, not for me, for angus" (insert highly annoyed look here) "Jesse, I just gave everyone a popsicle and I am not giving anyone a dollar... if angus would like a dollar he can go home and ask his mom..." to which angus responds "My mom doesnt have money or food now give me a dollar." hahahahahahahahahah "ummmm no... and for your information the next time you make a demand you will no longer be allowed to play over here. I am not your friend and you will respect me." His jaw dropped and his eyes got big, he didnt even know what to say.
After a few hours of playing it was time for Jess to come in and have dinner and take a bath, and here comes angus marching right behind. "sorry angus you will need to go home now," "no I am coming in for a while, I want to talk to jesse" "no, you are going home, Jesse has played long enough and you can see him tomorrow." He hangs his head and tells Jesse goodbye, gives him a high five and a hug (awe he does have a kind side buried deep, deep, DEEP under all that dirt and ill manners) and he goes on his way. SIGH... I am so glad that Jess is well behaved and I dont have those issues with him, I would die if I knew he was acting that way!
Until next time... trying to understand what happened between her oldest and her youngest.... madness.
