Porn and Pancakes

It's 9:30 AM and I am emerging from sleep to meet my daughter and husband who have eaten breakfast hours ago. I know, I know, how can a mother of a toddler be waking up at 9:00 in the morning - but actually, it is one of the great gifts which my husband has given me post-baby. Since he is more the morning person and generally around less, he takes her out on the weekends when she wakes up. At 6:30 AM. Sometimes earlier. I in turn do most of the middle of the night caretaking which I find far less awful than a daybreak start to a Saturday or Sunday.

So they frequent a diner which is at least a mile further than I would ever go for food but A likes the coffee. I meet him on the street after they have returned as I am going out to locate a bagel. He immediately relays the following:

A: "Chloe and I were picked up this morning."
Amy: "Oh really? Where?"
A: "At the diner."
Amy: "How so?"
A: "We were eating, and a woman said to the hostess, can I sit next to this lovely baby?
Amy: "And that's what you mean by picking you up?"
A: "Well she kept talking to us. Telling me how beautiful Chloe is. And she said 'Look how Chloe keeps staring at me! I must be very beautiful.' And then..."
Amy: "Yes?"
A: "Her identical twin came and sat with her!"

So clearly, the mere presence of an identical twin does an illicit scene make. Ahh, to be in the mind of a man, if only for a moment, where porn can be created out of pancakes.

Hahaha, Amy, I think you need less than a pancake to trigger an otherwise reasonable man to fantasize about identical twins. Luckely Chloe took over

what I fantazise more about seems an entirely diff part of the story. Rob sure likes to sleep in and feels he is getting up all week at 6ish (I at 7ish) so he is to sleep in on weekends. Maybe I make him read your blog and things change (a dream a mare dream, but luverly) Ha, he better gets prepared as it is my b-day on Sunday 24th *demonic laff*

Have a fun day
Sophie
