Only Child

Since my elder two have defected from the family and have been living 'in town' since Tuesday, Ben has been my only child. For the most part, he has been bored and lonesome as I am not much company and cleaning the house has zero appeal for a 9 year old kid.
Yesterday, I let him off the hook and we played on the Wii at Suzette's house for a couple hours. I offered to take him out for lunch today, apparently that is yet another indicator of how very boring I am. 'Lunch' is something you do WHILE you are doing something fun, not a destination within itself.
Thank goodness Jake and Chan will be home this evening, so he won't actually die from the boredom of it all. And, in the meantime, I found a recipe for goo on the side of a can of corn starch.
