Remember
how I said I was not going to video Riley for Operation IFO ever again?? Well.
I lied. Hey I believe I also said
that it would be my last blog post about Operation IFO. Yup.
Lied. Again.
Riley
has been testing me. BIG time! Believe it or not I find it very amusing especially
when it comes to his ingenious attempts at avoidance. Typical teenage behaviour
indeed and I am damn proud of him.
To
keep things moving forward I decided to switch things up a bit in Operation
IFO.
The
first time went like this:
Me: (Of
course I start with the positive to catch him off guard.)
For dinner tonight I’ll make you oyako-donburi. (Modified Japanese Rice Bowl)
R: Yes!
Me: Riley I have an idea.
R: Looking
a little leery.
Me: I can make you carrot soup or YOU can make hotdogs.
R: Thinking…thinking… Carrot soup.
Me: Wait.
Whaaaaat?!?!? You…you don’t want to
make hot dogs?
R: No thanks. You can make it.
Me: Dazed
and confused…off I go to make carrot soup.
The
second time I was going to make sure
he picked hot dogs. I
would offer…wait for it…a hamburger! Bwaaa-haaa-haaaa!
Me: Riley would you like a hamburger for
lunch or do you want to make hot dogs?
R: Thinking…thinking… Carrot soup???
Me: Ummm…no. Hamburger or you cook hotdogs.
R: Thinking
hard…
Me: Waiting…waiting…
R: Barely
audible… hamburger
Me: Pick
up chin off floor…go make a hamburger.

You probably noticed that I am not making any eye contact (although I was straining to look at him without turning my head) and no attempts at conversation as that would result in loud protesting on Riley's part. :)
Thankfully the camera battery lasted until after the first bite…barely. I am not sure who is keeping who on their toes anymore?!?!?

This made me giggle SO MUCH!! He's very dramatic with his food.. LIKE SOMEONE ELSE I KNOW!! lol!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteYES...dramatic indeed! He doesn't gag nearly as much as he used to. ;) It cracks me up to watch this too.
DeleteLook at you, all stealth with a hidden camera! I don't know which is funnier, his gagging and wanting your attention, or you trying to watch him without getting caught. Your videos most certainly help give me get a better idea of your strategies. It would be soooo hard for me to not look at him. I'd be caught for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteHaaahaaa...."stealth" indeed!!! It has taken years and YEARS of practice to avoid getting caught. :D
DeleteDi, I could watch these videos all day.
ReplyDeleteLove the gag reflex.
Is it bad that I find them amusing to watch too?!? ;P
DeleteYou played this SO smart! Makes me laugh to see your behavior next to his. Exactly what I would have done!! The things we've learned trial-by-error with our should-be-twins. :)
ReplyDeleteTrial by error indeed Tammy!! Too bad we didn't learn that earlier. Much, MUCH earlier. :D
DeleteWow Diane! You both constantly amaze me! It's a draw I think for who's got the better of who. Very funny! I honestly didn't know you were capable of being quiet that long - Lol!
ReplyDeleteHaaahaaa....I'll take that as a compliment Ang! :) It's a whole lot easier to remain silent if it means maintaining peace. Haha!
