Andrew thought for a second and then said, "Again?" He paused for a second and then continued, "I thought this was his first day of preschool."
"Oh," Christene said. "I used to put him in daycare that closed at 3pm and I always forgot to pick him up on time."
"Yeah," Mickey said, "Christine didn't mean to forget... she was really busy. Sometimes I even offered to pick him up and I too forgot because I am the one who's lousy around here."
"No one's lousy," Christine said. "Some things came up.
[center]The next day....[/center]
Christine decided to hire Tess as Aidan's babysitter. She thought if she couldn't remember, Tess could probably.
After school that day, Aidan decided to watch [i]HomewardBound:The Incredible Journey[/i]. Aidan's eyes were glued to the tv until Tess came in and asked, "What are you watching?"
Aidan turned around in surprise, "It's a movie called 'Homeward Bound' that I always used to watch when I was a little kid."
"What's it about?" Tess asked.
"It's about two dogs and a cat that were left at a barn with this family, because their family is going on a vacation, and when their family leaves, the pets escape to look for them. I've always liked it," Aidan replied.
"Sounds like a cute movie, baby," Tess said.
"Eewww!" Aidan said in disgust. "That's what Mickey calls mommy. You don't want to marry me--do you?!"
"No!" Tess said immediately. "I've never had any intentions of marrying you. You are 4 aren't you?"
"4 and a half," Aidan replied.
"That half really counts," Tess said, "Doesn't it?" Aidan nodded.
"I still think that this is a small town. Why do we have to get married in New Jersey anyways. Let's go to New York or something." Mickey argued again.
"Let's leave where to the last minute," Monica suggested. "Right now we could work on the details like the colors, the flowers, even the decorations." Monica's Irish accent lit up even more than usual.
"Yeah," Christine said. "That's a great suggestion Monica."
"I know, isn't it?" Monica replies thinking highly of her angelic self.
"Pink," Christine suggested as the color of the wedding.
"And black and it'll be perfect. Well almost perfect." Mickey added.
Just then, breaking completely out of Tess' control ran into the living room and said, "OKay, I was being nosy, but I just had to tell you pink and black [i]would[/i] make a good wedding. Don't you think so Monica?"
"Yes," monica said. "It would. Why don't you go finish that movie you were watching with Tess."
"OKay," Aidan replied hurrying back upstairs.
"Oh," Christene said. "I used to put him in daycare that closed at 3pm and I always forgot to pick him up on time."
"Yeah," Mickey said, "Christine didn't mean to forget... she was really busy. Sometimes I even offered to pick him up and I too forgot because I am the one who's lousy around here."
