Me: Honey, I’m going to cook all your favourite foods for these 2 last weeks of your exams OK? Any requests?
18: Great Mum, thanks! Veggie lasagna… nachos… tofu laksa… oh and your apple & rhubarb crumble for dessert, such a treat.
Me: You got it babe. I’ll do anything if it helps you actually do some study.
[Spends almost 2 weeks cooking (including exponentially improving fruit crumbles/washes up/wipes up/empties bins/feeds cat/does all remaining chores silently so as not to stress out revising son & various visiting ‘study mates’]
Me (leaving for work): Can you save me some of today’s crumble please, it’s my best one yet?
Me (returning from work a mere 3 hours later):

I thought my eyes were deceiving me when I saw the title!! Happy to see teenage Tuesday’s return! Sorry you didn’t get any crumble – hide some next time lol we do that at work so the students don’t go all “I’m going to eat but it consider that there are other people who still need to eat” over all the food haha

Look, it’s only a sneaky Teenage Tuesday as a one-off I’m afraid; he doesn’t know; I just could not resist sharing the story. Sounds like you are onto it: I will definitely hide some next time x
