That Phone Call

 You have to tell your parent something super important, ask them a time sensitive question or you were in the middle of talking to them.


Suddenly... the phone rings.


You wonder who it is until you hear the greeting and laughter that signals the start of the conversation that will make your parent unavailable for the next hour or two.


Maybe you were trying to finish organizing something, round up a conversation or worse... you were preparing to go somewhere and THAT phone call messed up all your plans.



It's never ending, always inconvenient, super loud and gets on your every nerve.


You know what I'm talking about and I know what I'm talking about. Who does that phone call come from in your house?

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.
