So Andy told me tonight that he was going shooting with friends tomorrow. I realized in that moment that I have never once left my boys to go hang out with my friends. So, I hid my grinning face behind a boy who was hanging out on my lap and said with all the seriousness I could muster, “In two nights, I’m hanging out with my friends.” Andy said, “Who’s this? You don’t have any friends.” I started laughing up a storm since he had called my bluff. Then he added, “It’s not that you can’t have friends; you choose not to.” Certainly true that I would never choose to hang without my boys so play dates with other moms are the only option.
