Adult Kid-Parent Relationships

I would just like to say that I am thoroughly enjoying my
relationship with my 30-year old which included this yesterday
(during a call where he was following up to ask me more about a
job-hunting suggestion I had):
Me: Wait. You didn't actually care about Thing X? It was just a
way to harass me?
Kiddo: Pretty much.
Me: Fuck you.
----------
Kiddo: [describes annoying thing]
Me: So you're saying this is that thing again where you [do
self-defeating thing].
Kiddo: Bitch.
Me: Fair.

Yesterday, at my house:
ME: Happy almost-birthday, Oldest! Will you be staying for
dinner?
OLDEST. Um. Yes. Also I may have accidentally invited six other
people and a dog, and they will arrive in less than fifteen
minutes.
ME: [B] Attention everyone, we have a defcon 1 hosting
emergency. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.[/b]

Since this was not me, I find this absolutely hysterical. And
since it was you, I'm sure you were able to come up with
sufficient food.
Also, this does sound a lot like one of my sons. Who are both
significantly older than your sons.

It was fine. I pride myself on my ability to feed a crowd on
short notice. It's a touching comment on Oldest's faith in me,
really. I even got a hug.
Long story short: one of the guests (really these are people
I've known since they were six) brought a brisket and another
one brought a cooler so all I did was apps (sliders), sides
(mango-jalapeno slaw, roast potatoes, grilled eggplant, corn on
the cob and nice crusty bread) and dessert (peach cobbler with
ice cream).
LCP got along great with Stevie the GSD puppy.

damn girl, your "all i did was" sounds freaking a w e s o m e.
imagine if you'd had even more time: i'm crying into my lameazz
peanutbutter sandwich dinner at the mere thought of what that
spread wouldve tasted like.
here, have a spare crown for pulling it off.
