Haha, the yokes on him! He didn't see your way out coming, I gather, so you took him by surprise and had him take the family out for breakfast at McDonald's. This was a fun and humorous Mother's Day story, and I'll bet, that though it says fiction, it was, as you say, based on a true story. Thanks for sharing this funny story.
Have a wonderful Mother's Day!
Jesse

    Yes, I never made any decisions or figured things out...especially for my birthday, Christmas, or holidays. I fixed him. He could pay! Smiles, Carol

    What a lovely way to get back at him.
    I'll bet he figured out how to make breakfast after that...or got out his wallet!
    Smiles for miles,
    Jesse

I think you deserve a prize for the sidestep of the century, in what really was a challenge rather than a gift from these most precious of children. Beautifully written my friend, I love stories like, but sometimes revenge is a sweet gift, a lesson, "Don't mess with me!" Well done, blessings Roy

    Roy, my ex-husband never thought ahead...I was always the planner, the organizer, the one figuring things out. I felt like he deserved what he got... Smiles, Carol

I love it. It seems children want to give Mothers breakfast in bed, when it is the last thing we would want. I love the way the mother handled this special breakfast and turned the tables on her husband. Very well done.

    Thanks Anne, Raw eggs are definitely not on my desired menu I can assure you. Yuck! I know some people eat them, but not me. Thanks for the review. Smiles, Carol

This is a very good story. Them kids are so innocent. Good thing daddy was there to help you out. I couldn't had eaten a raw egg. I knew someone in my time who loved them. Sucked them right out of the shell. You did a great job. You also got out of a bad situation and a sly way. Good job.

Ah you're always such a clever lady, Carol. Your husband should have known. lol But it was so sweet of your little ones to want to make you breakfast. When my husband tried that, I got a good breakfast, but I had to wait in bed for an hour! That was hard because I was usually the first one up, crossing things off my to do list.

    Me too! And his efforts at cooking were worse than my little boys. thanks but no thanks... Raw eggs were a bit too much. I've eaten burnt toast and extremely mushy mashed potatoes. Even a hamburger that wasn't fully cooked, but raw eggs weren't possible. Smiles, Carol

I do understand how this can happen. I have a feeling it happens more than it doesn't. LOL Thank you for sharing. Your family is so interesting and so real. I like that.
