The Joy of the Holidays!

 Holidays are the best! … Most of the time.


You get time off of school which is great!


You get more chores which is not so great.


You don't have to attend classes which is awesome!


You get tons of homework which is not so awesome!


You don't get to see several faces (names not to be mentioned) that you are sick of!


I think this final point about faces you DO see is best left to the imagination.


These feelings come and go with each holiday but they are always strongest during the Christmas break!


Especially when the guests begin to arrive and you KNOW you won't be getting seconds because they're going to finish all the food. 


When you experience that, you experience the true joy of Christmas holidays!

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.
