Time Bomb

 Going to church is a semi huge event.


You dress up, do your hair and all that.


However, its a whole different ball game when the person driving to church is dad.


For starters, you get the memo a day ahead.


"Tomorrow, dad is driving us to church"


That prompts a whole new approach...

You set out everything the night before,


You set five alarms to wake up, instead of your usual one alarm,


AND



You pack your handbag the night before.


You have until he gets into the bathroom, then the timer starts running.


It becomes like a spy network- running from room to room whispering things like

"Hurry up, daddy has entered the bathroom"


"He's out of the shower"


"He's dressing up!"


"HE'S EATING!"


"HE'S WEARING HIS SHOES!!!"


The information builds in urgency, telling you how much time you have left.


Finally, you hear the 'CLACK' of shoes down the hallway and know your time is up.


The bomb explodes as he blows the car horn,

You better be out of the house by then.

  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.
