Till You Drop

 Remember all those times when we were young and went to parties with our parents?

They would serve food and our moms would say


You better eat well here oo. I'm not cooking when we get home. This is your dinner.


I found that it still applies when you're almost an adult. 


Guess what???


I was the one saying it this time.


We were at a buffet.

As long as you have paid the fee, you are free to eat till you drop.


And I made sure that was what everyone did.

They ate till they could barely drag themselves out of their seats to go home. 


Now that I'm on the other side of the fence, I understood why my mom did what she did.


I was definitely not going to cook after someone else was generous enough to cook food that would serve as both our lunch AND dinner.


If you're hungry when we get home, go and butter bread.

  2. Good one dear 🤣 … and after you drag yourself home, you get a lil pang of hunger and it looks like you didn’t eat at all.

  HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! To all the wonderful mother's out there, we can't say how much we appreciate and love you! We love you moms! I love you mom!

The Copy Machine

  A big thank you to the lady who told me this story. She gave me a new view on babies thanks to an intriguing conversation. My little brother reached the stage that he copied everything that everyone said. As a result we were really, really, really careful. We once said poop in his presence and that comprised the majority of his vocabulary for one week! Back to the story. My mom always carried my brother with her to greet my dad whenever he came home from work. She always said "Welcome home honey" One day, as my dad came home, my brother broke free from my sister and I and ran up to our dad yelling "Honey! Honey! Honey!" at the top of his lungs. We were shocked. My mom was worried. My dad look faintly disturbed. How were we going to wean him off this?

The Sleepover Story

  'Mom, dad, can I sleepover at my friend's house next week?' 'Sleep-what? You can be with them all day, why do you need to sleep in their house? Why can't they come here?...' A lot more questions follow that. From the experience of teens, more often than not, parents believe that you should play out all day and come back to your house to sleep. It's not a bad philosophy.  You don't really lose out of not sleeping over at your friend's house. A huge pro is, when you are older, hopefully, you'll sleep in your own house most of the time, which is a great way to remain safe.
