Seriously?

So, Jerry calls me this morning at home and asks me if he left his wallet. I look and find that he has indeed left it in our room. I am reluctant to ask if he wants me to bring it to him because I know that I have a meeting in St. Charles today that I am supposed to leave for at 8:30 am and it is currently 7:15 am. He does indeed need the wallet, of course, and is taking a special class so he is over at the main campus. This puts another crimp in my plans because that is a 15min trip rather than the normal 5 min. it would have been had he just reported to his own office today. So, I agree to take the wallet to his car and this now means that I must leave the house within the next 15 minutes if I am going to be back in time to take the older two to school because it is pouring rain outside. I quickly dress and gather them in the kitchen to explain that Jerry has forgotten his wallet and I am going to take it to him while they continue to get dressed, eat breakfast and make their lunches, ON THEIR OWN. While I am explaining this I am putting lipstick on at the kitchen counter. When I am done speaking Eli says, "Mom, I don't think this is really a good time for lipstick." WHAT!@#$%^&* He is completely serious. I look and him and tell him " Eli, I am going out looking my best." He laughs. Seriously, it's always a good time for lipstick, right girls?
