The Times They Came

 We've all had our 'running girl' or 'running boy' moments. However, no 'running' moment can be compared to the times 'they' came.


Instantly you were asked to bring a barrage of things: water, drinks, snacks, keys, can openers, trays, THAT picture frame from two months ago, their phone, the OTHER picture from two months ago, their slippers, and the other OTHER picture from two months ago.


We all know who I'm talking about...


Guests!


Whenever they came around it was goodbye free time and hello running shoes.


With your name echoing every other minute it was suicide to take that nap or put on headphones and play your music at full blast.


You couldn't have them call your name more than twice or ELSE.


After they left though, things always went back to normal.


The problem was... when would they leave?

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.
