My son found out at dinner last night that his mom and sister are going to a party starting at 5:30am tomorrow for the royal wedding, and he and I are not invited. He's actually upset about it. When I explained that they were just going to be sitting around and drinking tea and eating scones and watching the wedding on tv, he got even more upset. I was kind of surprised about that, but then I remembered that he went to tea around Christmas time with his grandmother and cousins, and really enjoyed himself. Sleeping until a normal hour and hanging out with me at home until his bus comes sounds like a rip off to him. So my wife is going to wake him up when she leaves tomorrow, and he's going to watch the wedding on TV by himself until I get up. I bet I wind up watching the damn thing too.
There were graphics of the church in this morning's paper. With a little infographic thing next to it of the timeline. It's going to take something like 4 minutes to walk down the aisle. Wtf? Why do I need to know this?
