Got up to get a drink.
James came out of his room.
Asked me if I wanted to help him make pancakes.
It was 3 in the morning.
I was like "But mom will hear us."
He was like "Not if we're quiet."
so we made pancakes and giggled and whispered,
and made jokes.
Then we stood at the kitchen counter
and ate our pancakes.
More giggles.
More whispers.
He asked if he could play ghosts
and goblins on the computer,
I suggest mario.
So we took the system out of my room
and set it up in his.
Then we sat and played up to world three,
laughing about nothing
and talking about everything.

Good way to start the year, I must say.
My first meal of 2009 was rice.
But the first real good one was pancakes
at 3:something AM with James.
I'll remember this time for a long time.
