Contract

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

    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!

    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.

      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…

    I should definitely request that he make a contract for daddy to sign. 🙂 Without the loop hole of course. Bawhahaha.

    I think you should write some short stories about Mr. Monk. He is the cutest little bugger ever. 🙂 I love your stories about him.
