Latchkey Kid

I have just said goodbye for my parents for the week, my mother at least. She'd been busy all week with the Christmas services and preaching this morning, and now that that's all over, Mother just popped in the first disc of her Chinese soaps (there're 2 Korean sets waiting after that). I don't expect her to cook anything or acknowledge my presence until the 15th (which is too bad since I've had 0 motherly cooking since arriving last week, lots of fatherly meals though).

Father said that if Mother would only watch one episode tonight, he'd cook dinner for a year. After the first episode was over, she triumphantly stood up and declared that she wasn't cooking in 2010-- only to circle back to the couch a few minutes later and continue watching. Father seems to think she'll go to bed around 2AM. I'm not so optimistic. I'm guessing at least 3:30AM.
