Avoidance

I’m pretty sure that I still have a son out there someplace. I haven’t heard a peep from him in about three weeks, though. I left a message on his cell phone on Sunday and no reply so far. I’m not upset about it, but I’m kind of amused. I think he might be trying to avoid me. There is a short school holiday coming up in about 4 days. We had talked about it before he left for school in August. I told him that he was certainly welcome to come home and I’d go fetch him. I looked forward to that possibility, but also said that if something else came up that he’d prefer to do, that was fine with me. Maybe going to a friend’s house out on the island for the long weekend. I more or less expected that he might decide to do that, but it would be nice to know a little in advance. I have a feeling that’s what is transpiring and the lad might be just a tad uneasy about telling his ole Mom that he doesn’t want to come home to spend some quality time with her.

No, really. It’s okay. And if you do still plan on coming home, that’s really cool, too. Just let me know, alright?

Call your Mother!
