"Mom, can you read palms?"
"Of course" I said calmly, though this was the last question I expected to hear coming out of his mouth.
"What does my palm say?" he asks as he leans over so I can fully study the lines of his palms.
Pursing my lips in concentration I hem and haw for a few moments and then with a look of enlightenment I take his hand and point to one particularly strong line and say, "See this line here?"
"Uh huh" he says, concentrating fiercely on his hand.
"Well, this tells me about your future."
"Ok, what does it say Mom?"
"It says that you have an enormous task in front of you."
"What task Mom? Is it about being a policeman?" he asks hopefully.
"Well, no. This is a more immediate task.
From what I can see, it's telling me that you will be cleaning your room all weekend."
With a look of horror he snatches his hand back from me. I can see him out of the corner of my eye trying to rub out the line and I can hear him say in a faint, slightly sullen voice, "Nu uh. It doesn't say that."
I chuckle softly all the way home.
