This is something I need to remember:
The first time Christopher laughed he was a little tiny baby and I was tickling his stomach after changing his diaper. I shouted for Paul to come and told him what had happened. “He didn’t laugh.” Paul said.
“Yes he did,” I stood firm. “I know it because my heart just exploded.”
Stinky Peanut
Yesterday my family was away at a friend’s for dinner and didn’t return until late. This morning when a little Peanut came downstairs I greeted her and asked if she missed me last night.
“No, I missed my cousins.”
I would evict her, except Torey would feel obliged to go too and then who would do my girls’ hair?
And her cousins would miss her.
Yesterday at the dinner table my sister was forcing some medication on me.
“Leesen to me baybee. You neeeed to take theese.”
“OK, Baybee. I theenk you are right. I weel take eet.” I held out my hand, but when she started to pour a couple I shouted, “Oooonly one, Baybee!”
“Youneeedtotaakeeet!” she shouted back.
I took it.
Paul shook his head, “This needs to stop…it has to stop.”
When not to address your husband’s excessive travel:
1. He is in Ohio (at an airport) and you are in Michigan and pre-menstrual.
2. There are probably other inappropriate occasions but I can’t think of them.
