Patrick has wandered off, mumbling, instead of getting a meal and turning up for a Driving Adventure.
We don’t call him “the skinny, weird one” for nothing.
I just put a cheeseburger pie in the oven, and in the making, it smelled very good! So we’ll see how it turns out in another 20 minutes. But no dessert.
Sounds like Patrick suffers from the “I-don’t-want-to-learn-so-don’t-teach-me” syndrome. Time for The Mom to take a break. If he asks, just tell him you’ll resume when he’s sure he wants to drive on his own.
