I've always thought that I have fostered a blood-is-thicker-than-water bond with both my kids.
It's our (the boy's & mine) ritual to have breakfast on Saturdays when we have no commitments - he, to the school and extra-curricular activities, & I, to the hospital. Usually we'd have either the chicken briyani or tosai/canai. Yes, we're that set in our ways. So when I asked him today if we are OK for breakfast at 9.30am tomorrow, he said it depends if he could wake up on time.
His response rankled me a bit; if he really enjoy having breakfast with me, he'd make every attempt to get up by that time, as I would. Besides, 9.30am is not that early by any measure.
I know when kids grow up, they often have their own circle of friends which they would want to hang out & chill out with, at the expense of the family
But I'd rather hope he'd choose dad over sleep. We'll see.....

As it panned out, I had to go back to hosp at 9am while he Whatsapped me at 10.45am, asking if I was free for breakfast, which I wasn't. Is this where 2 wrongs make a right? :P
Thanks for the update to the story. I was about to ask you in the comment when I read your comment.
