I'm going to take my son (younger) out for waffles. While he is eating his waffles, I will be illuminating the many ways things will have to Change Around Here IF he continues to live here. Example - my water bill went from 150.00 to 60.00 after he moved out. I'm not asking him to pay the water bill - just to be aware of the water bill. And the fact that meals don't make themselves nor do dishes play in hot soapy water at night and magically appear in the cupboard the next morning!! He's 19, he's on scholarship, he works and maintains his own car, but come ON. Throw out your pizza box once in a while, would ya? Sheesh.

So. Waffles.
