My 10 year old son made me a pot of coffee!

[Danmel]

Danny came home from school and asked how I was. I said "Tired, Dan, can you make me a pot of coffee?" He said sure. I watch you do it all the time- how much coffee and how much water?" So I told him. And he did- he brewed up a perfect pot of coffee! I knew there was a reason I had kids!

1. When my older son turned 16......

I taught him how to make me a Martini.

He's a good boy.

9. Now who's the bigger class act here?

The father or the son?

2. Aw, what a little sweetie!

A child who is happy to do something to make their parents happy was well-treated as he was growing up. What a cutie!

[Dookus]

3. I dunno

that's a lot of dirty diapers, expense and pain for a pot of coffee. I'd rather go to starbucks :D

Anyway, congrats. It's nice when the little buggers become useful.

4. Are report cards coming due?

5. how dare he...

he's ruining childhood for all other kiddies...bad, bad!!...just kidding! Nowadays you'd be happy if you could the kid(s) to even take out the garbage without any feedback.

6. What class is he failing?

:)

[Danmel]

8. Now , Now

He's not failing anything- he's a DUers son- he's smart! He just loves his mommy!

11. My mom taught me how to make the perfect martini...

Granted I had just turned 20 at the time. She used to tend bar for years, so whenever I visit she can make a damn fine drink out of any available liquor...thats her McGuyver like talent, something that she is passing down to me!

12. That is so freakin' sweet

My daughter is four so I still have 6 more years to go. :( She helps me clean around the house though...I don't even ask her for help. Yesterday she had a friend over and they asked if they could mop the kitchen floor. Why stop them, right? Besides, it's not like she's going to ask these things when she's 14 so I might as well enjoy it while I can.

13. I now have a reason to have kids!

(not now of course)
The thought of having a little mini-me around making me coffee- awesome!

[tigereye]

14. and they bring you stuff from the kitchen

and help clean up ( sometimes). That is really cool. Maybe I should train mine to do that. He'll be nine soon. :)

Actually seeing their independence and development into cool people makes the aggravation worthwhile. I still remember how excited I was when my son opened the car door alone for the first time!

15. I taught our 3 y.o. to get me a beer from the fridge

He even knows the difference between light and dark. The other day he came running out with a Bass and said, "Here's your Bass, Mom!" I guess he recognized the triangle.

16. My husband has him trained for the beer

He asks now- depending on what we're eating. His favorite though is bringing up a can of Guinness because it has this ball in the can and he likes to shake it after it is emptied! This is the first time he's made a pot of coffee though!

He is a great kid- funny,smart, cute and boy does he hate Bush! He really does make me smile!
