Panic at the Birthday #1

 It was my grandma’s surprise party.

Everything was set.

Cake? Check.

Guests? Double check.

Presents? Check.

Food? Quadruple check.

Decorations?


Decorations!!!!


So we rushed to the venue, balloons and pump in hand ready to brighten up the place.


There was just one little problem…


The pump was broken

And my mom was envisioning a balloon arc.

That meant blowing a hundred+ balloons with our mouths in less that four hours! 

My mom got right to it…

Me? A bit more reluctantly.


Safe to say that while the pictures looked great, my grandma was pleasantly surprised and the guests were in awe, my mouth, and everything I ate the rest of the day (including the supposedly great food) tasted like rubber.

  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.
