1:00 p.m.
RENN:Archie can’t stay with the boys tomorrow. Normally, I’d be okay with making Robbie watch Gage for a couple hours but not overnight.
ME:Overnight, huh?
RENN:I mean, not that this was necessarily gonna be an overnight date.
RENN:But I was sort of hoping it would be.
RENN:Unless that’s not what you want.
RENN:In which case I’m totally fine with that.
RENN:Like, more than fine.
RENN:Totally fine.
ME:Hey Renn
RENN:Yeah
ME:What do you like for breakfast?
3:30 p.m.
RENN:So Lydia can’t take the boys either. How bad would it be if I asked Pete to stay with them?
ME:Hard to say. I don’t exactly know how it is with you guys these days. He sees them more now, right?
RENN:He sees them. Mostly Gage. Robbie just sulks in his room but Pete tries.
RENN:It’s hard.
RENN:For him.
RENN:For me.
RENN:For the boys.
RENN:But I think he’ll come over if I ask. Robbie can deal with it. Gage actually likes it because Pete will play board games. Kiddo is really into Stratego right now.
ME:Stratego is solid. Just don’t pull the rookie move of putting your flag in the corner.
RENN:Nerd.
ME:If it really bothers you, we can postpone.
RENN:Fuck that.
ME:*smiley face emoji*
ME:Or…you know it is possible to do…ahem…overnight activities…without actually staying overnight.
ME:So, in theory, we could…um…do activities…and you could leave. If you didn’t want to ask Pete for an overnight.
RENN:FUCK THAT!!!!!!
RENN:Let me make myself clear. Gimme a sec to get this out…
