Are We Done Here Dad?

Sunday morning I got up a little early and started working on breakfast. Everyone was beat because Jack had a golf tournament Saturday afternoon and we did not get home till after 10:00. The smell of thickly sliced peppered bacon with vanilla pancakes was making its way through the house. The first to stir about 8:00 was Jack. As he was making his way to the kitchen he was observing our work in the kitchen from the day before. He loooked over the new dishwasher and admired it and then moved over to the new microwave and the shelf that we built for it so that it will sit over our new (yet to be delivered) oven. Then he saw the huge hole where the oven will be along with the electrical wires that we have capped off and the hole in the sheet rock for the electrical. Here is how our conversation went from there...

Jack- Dad that sure is a nice new dishwasher.
Me- Yeah Jack it is. It's very quite too.
Jack- I really like our new microwave oven dad.
Me- Yeah Jack it is nice isn't it.
Jack- (Observing the huge whole that was described above)- Um...Dad....ARE WE DONE HERE?

No....No Jack we are not done!

Jack- I was wonderin'

Maybe you could serve up pancakes and bacon the next time you host. Also, quit using my name on my blog.

Nana agrees with Jack--when it comes to home improvement porjects, especially done by family and parents, it's always safer to just ask. Love, Sparklenana
