Nearly everyone is familiar with the Bible verse that says “bad company corrupts good morals.”
My children certainly are.
However, I think I have come up with the flip side of that…
“Good company can really cramp your style.”
After our drive from Dallas, I went to bed at 11:30 and slept until 4:30. I know that adds up to 5 hours of sleep, but…
I woke up at 4:30 because my mother and my son arrived at our door.
Don’t get me wrong…I was glad to see them but…
They eliminated any chance I had of trying to get some sympathy from my wife about how tired I was yesterday! They left me exactly zero room to complain!
Look at what I am up against…
We left Dallas at 2:00 on Sunday afternoon. They took off from New Jersey at 9:00 on Sunday morning.
We drove 9 hours. They drove 19.
We got in at 11:00 Sunday night. They got in at 4:30 Monday morning.
I slept for 5 hours. They didn’t sleep at all!
I was groaning inside because I had to go to work. They arrived all happy and glad to see us.
Razza frazza, grumble, grumble…
I got nothin’!
So, let me tell you…
I was tired yesterday…really tired!
