off to a great start


this morning i said to my boys, "do you know what today is?"

blank stares

"today is mother's day!"

blank stares

"no, it isn't."

i then spent the next 2 minutes explaining that, yes, we had mother's day parties at school on friday but that is only because you don't go to school on sundays and today is the real mother's day.

blank stares

"so what do we do today?"

"nothing. you just say, "happy mother's day!""

blank stares

finally a big smile and a "happy mother's day!"

"thank you, sy."

"mom..."

"yes, soren..."

"tooted."

"you tooted?"

"yep."

blank stare---from me this time

I needed that laugh today. Mother's Day just isn't the same without anyone around to give the blank stare and then "happy mother's day" (preferably WITHOUT the toot!)

HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY!
