Today’s Special is…

What’s for dinner? That’s the first thing out of my son’s mouth every morning…after school…and I’m ashamed to admit it, but he has even gone so far as to text me from class. What is a mother to do? Hubby will ask occasionally but that’s okay he’s a hard working guy and his toil puts
