News Flash. I’m not ready to go outside.

Me:  Beaumont. We have to go for a walk.

Beau:  Have you seen the weather out there?

Me:  Doesn’t matter. We still have to go.

Beau:  I’m comfy.

Me:  And I’m ready to go for a walk.

Beau:  Have a nice time.

Me. With you.

Beau:  Do I look like I’m ready to go outside?

Me:  I’m pretty sure you have to do your business.

Beau:  I’m pretty sure it can wait.

Me:  How long?

Beau:  As soon as the news is over.

Me:  Since when do you watch the news?

Beau:  Since never. But, duh! My dad is watching the news and I’m lying on my dad. One plus one equals two. I can’t get up until the news is over.

Me:  That doesn’t even make sense.

Beau:  News flash lady. It doesn’t have to.

Me:  News flash Beaumont. I’m going now.

Beau:  As I said, have a nice time. I’ll be there when the news is over.

Sigh.  It took half an hour before he was ready to get off the bed and go for a walk.  He really is incorrigible.
