Mom and Dad picked me up at 6:30 yesterday morning for a quick trip to Columbus. It was my first time riding in Dad's new GMC Acadia, and it's a nice car, but the leg room in the back is really minimal! Anyway, we made it to Powell in time to see the younger of my nephews test for and get his orange belt in Taekwondo, and then go out for brunch.
My elder nephew has celiac, and because he didn't want to make his brother choose a different restaurant than his favorite, he ate at the house before we went. This is pretty typical of The Awesome Nacho, who is very considerate of others. This is in complete contrast to his grandfather, who pitched a hissy fit about how expensive cigarettes are when I bummed one from him and then said he'd like to spend $10/month for a cell phone that would live on Mom's bike just in case she needed it. He also made us late leaving for brunch and late leaving to come home, because it's all about him. He was a little surprised and offended when we stopped at Starbucks on the way back and I refused his offer of a coffee. After the little display in the car earlier, I was not going to spend any of his money!
The important thing, though, is that SuperDoughnut did very well on his test, got his new belt, and got brunch with his family on a beautiful day. :)
