Parenting Holiday

My parents have M. Edium for the day, and later we're going to meet them at the State Fair. Which leaves my wife and I looking at the better part of a work holiday with absolutely nothing to do.

After almost four years, I think this is one of the clearest signs we've had that we're actually parents: that given a warm, sunny morning and afternoon with the house to ourselves, we can't think of a thing to do to kill several hours. Yes, there were some some things we could have done to kill a few minutes, but we already did them. There's nothing pressing around the house, no relatives in from out of town, no daytime errands we need to run.

It's weird, but at least we don't feel this much at loose ends when we find ourselves with a free evening. If that ever happens, we'll know we're beyond hope. And with our luck, it'll happen a week before he moves out of the house.
