The Instigator Is At It Again!

Our youngest son moved out into his own apartment about a year ago. Since that time I can probably count on one hand the number of times he's stopped in here 'just for a visit'. Most of his visits are due to invitations on our part to pool parties, birthday parties, and other family celebrations and gatherings. Most of his other 'pop-ins' are due to retrieving his mail, or maybe borrowing tools, or with some specific agenda in mind. Yesterday he and his girlfriend stopped in because he was expecting something to come in the mail and he still uses our home as his mailing address.

Whatever the reason, we are always happy to see him, especially Jayden who gets very excited to see Andrew, and Jayden is also quite taken with Andrew's girlfriend Lisa. So any visit from them is a welcome one.

Now, just before leaving Andrew tells us that he has some "juicy gossip" about our oldest son, but he's not going to tell us 'just yet'! I asked him what he was talking about, and he gets this Chesire Cat smile on his face as he walks out the door and says, "Well, ask him, see if he tells you first!" (Hence, the nickname 'Instigator'!). Of course we all start guessing and throwing out our ideas of what it might be, and the Instigator just keeps smiling and walking out the door! My first question was "Is it something good or something bad?!" The Instigator wouldn't even answer that for me!

Andrew and our oldest son work together, or rather, our oldest son is Andrew's supervisor, a situation that I don't think sits very well with either one of them! It makes for some very interesting conversations around here! And it's funny to hear each side of any given situation, one from the 'bosses' point of view and one from the 'employee' point of view. Very funny, and very interesting indeed.

Anyway, back to the Instigator ~ he wouldn't even tell us if it was work-related or personal! I think the next time the Instigator pops in I'm going to pop him!
