When I handed my child the bowl of cereal, he looked at me skeptically and asked, “Is this with the chunky milk?” What? Who’s been giving him chunky milk?
“Dad, do cows pee milk?” Thought that might just brighten your day…like it did mine. Ha!
“I know why everyone is buying all the toilet paper,” exclaimed my youngest, “They are all going to the bathroom too much because they are buying all the food!” I loved his theory! Truly, I spent much of my lock-down time cooking.
Old Irish proverb: Parents who let small children watch scary movies reap sleepless nights filled with little monster invasions.
Things I hear myself say: “Faith said she goes and lies down by the door and barks when she needs to go to the bathroom.”
I made it on my plane three minutes before they closed the door. I struggled to get my bag up in the overhead compartment. I mean I STRUGGLED! Finally, I got it up there, turned around, and everyone was laughing at me. I was happy I could provide some comic relief, but if I had known I was the show, I could have done the Macarena. I was just glad to be on the plane.
Yea for negative comments! Ha! One soul thought it very important to let me know that I’m racist for publishing Mexican recipes, and I’m making her racist as well. What? She also called me and my family names and ended saying that we are all weird. That’s the only thing that made any sense to me. We are weird. On purpose. Who wants a normal life anyway? Viva la weirdness!
