SUSHI and IZZY

WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 2009 Last night I mentioned to Corey that we haven’t done lunch lately. It is of course partly that Judy and I were out of town for a week. We discussed doing all-you-can-eat sushi today. Today he called to reconfirm our lunch appointment. He asked if we could meet at Simply Sushi at 11:30 because he had to conduct a training class at the office at 1:00. He said that Stacey would like to go with us. Since Jim rolls sushi there on Thursday nights, he and those with him get a 50% discount. I said that, that would be great. Stacey and I met up at their Bank, the Mountain America Credit Union in the Smith’s parking lot by our place in Saratoga Springs and Stacey and I road in together. I feel as close to Stacey as I do my own children. We had a good visit on the drive both ways. Corey and Jim road together in Jim’s new black Honda Civic Hybrid; (50 mph) On our way home I mentioned to Stacey that I was impressed at how good of a reader Jayden has gotten to be and that he reads everything in sight. She said that I don’t know the half of it. (My wording) He reads every sign along the road when they are in the car and is forever telling them they are driving too fast. He doesn’t want to miss a word. He reads the billboards, the traffic signs; everything! Somehow the subject of Jayden and girls came up. (Remember he won’t be ten until the tenth of July.) Stacey said that he and Izzy had, had a bit of a spat. I wouldn’t have worded it that way. When Stacey went to the school, after classes were over the other day, Jayden ran up to his mother. Izzy called to him to wait up. Jayden uttered something about boys having to do (whatever) for their girlfriends. Izzy, who is about six inches taller than Jayden, got embarrassed that he would use that wording in front of his mother. He said, “don’t worry, she knows!” Izzy said in shock, “Don’t let my parents find out!” Stacey said she wouldn’t tell them and reassured her that it was ok with her if she and Jayden are girlfriend-boyfriend. She also mentioned to me that Jayden and Izzy have vowed to be together forever but that they will not kiss until they are eighteen years old. We’ll see. School is letting out for the summer this Friday. How time flies.
