What the Heck?

So, it has been 8 days since The X Factor has made contact with his children. What is he thinking?? I mean really. In the world of cell phones and computers is it so far out of the realm that he would inquire about their day, their health, their anything...
He finally made contact this morning, by text message, wanting to know if he could come over tonight and carve pumpkins with them. Not can I come and help with homework, housework or poopy diapers... just PUMPKINS!!!

I said... "Sure, come early the lawn needs to be mowed!!!"

I mean really! REALLY??
