My husband is out of town again. Well, since he travels 50% of the time, as dictated by his contract, there is always 50-50 chance he is on the road. He’s sort of like George Cloony in Up in the Air, but without the dashing good looks.
(Oh, I love you honey. I just need to say THAT ’cause it is not nice to brag on the Internet…)
I brought this up because I wonder whether the following would have happened if my husband were home right now.
Mr. Monk just wrote something on a piece of paper that he did not want me to see. Upon completion though, he came to me with the paper and demanded,
“Mom. Sign THIS!”
“What is it?”
“Just sign it!” He covered up the words while pushing a pen towards me. Yet another lawyer in the making. I’m going to be well taken care of in my old age…
So… what do you think? Should I sign it or not?
Sign here, please
p.s. I did “consult” with my husband regarding the proper response to this. Here’s the IM between us:
me: Hey dude
your son is making me sign a contract
which says,
get this
wair [sic] for it!
“You will never remarry somebody else other than dad”
Him: wow
cool
me: WHAT?!
WTthebeep?
Him: what if i die?
me: He’s insisting that I sign it.
Him: hehe
me: ugh
ARGH
you guys
ganging up on me
Him: do it or crush his dreams and hopes
haha
me: Thanks
I don’t have enough guilt already
You rock man.
Bye

Hilarious!
I say, sign it. Technically, I think you’re safe either way since you can only REmarry your husband, right? You’re not giving up your rights to marry someone else for the first time…

BRILLIANT!!!!
Are you an attorney? Great catch! (And if you are, I am sorry about the bad lawyer jokes… LOL)
Umm I’m gonna have to go with Kristen on this one. : )
Kudos to his cleverness!!

I think this is very sweet! (And Kristen caught the technicality.)
Great stuff, this, from the note to the texting conversation. I’m wondering towards the day one of my 4 kids does this.

Lol! Adorable! Yeah, I think you kind of have to sign it. Maybe you can add your own stipulations in later?
Andrea´s last blog…"Seven Nation Army"
I totally sign it, then I suggest he prepare one for daddy too. Only when he prepares daddy’s, I point out the grammatical error.

I think you should write some short stories about Mr. Monk. He is the cutest little bugger ever.
I love your stories about him.
You gotta love kids : )
Love your conversation with your husband regarding this : )
PS I am sure he is even cuter than George Clooney : )

Oh thank you! Your comment will help towards my making a case for dragging him into my bloggy world.
The inner-workings of that child’s mind must be a wonderment! That is SOOO sweet!
I hope he will require Dad to sign a similar contract! You may want to check on that before you sign.

Tricky little bugger.

This is too cute! I love the little notes my kids write – but none have been as clever as this one. And I’m now wondering if Kristen is a lawyer – great job catching to loophole!
Jane´s last blog…Just A Little Something I Need To Get Off My Chest
I should definitely request that he make a contract for daddy to sign.
Without the loop hole of course. Bawhahaha.
Who’s Eles? And why can’t you remarry him?
Chris´s last blog…Sascha Brastoff
Yep. You need a corresponding contract for dad.
Love your kid. He’s saucy.

Props! He said “somebody else” instead of “another man.” Mr. Monk is down with the lesbians. Go grrrrl.
Elly Lou´s last blog…All About Me
Yet another loophole! Good catch!
And I have to say, now that you pointed out, I am very proud of my child: I guess all that gender-equality talk is working its way into his psyche…
Who cares about the remarriage issue — he doesn’t say anything about fun dirty stuff or shacking up with someone, so I think you’re pretty safe signing that, really.
Miss B´s last blog…Scales
I am laughing but, I can’t seem to come up with a witty response-Oh what the hell, just sign it. The letter just says remarried…….There is a lot you can do without getting remarried

It doesn’t count if you had to sign it under duress.

I’m pleased that he spelled “than” correctly! He’s better at it than most of the people I know who post stuff on Facebook!
I think you’ve gotten some fine legal advise here. Way too cute, the kid!
