Picked Dave up after his detention and down to see Mother.

Supper at Ross’s Restaurant but Dave didn’t like their shrimp. His insistence that everything he eats has to be just exactly what he expects it to be is a little wearing. If I were equally insistent that he conduct himself exactly as I think he should our lives would be miserable.
