1. I handed Aidan a piece of bread yesterday, and I swear he said, “Thank you, Mama.”
2. Evan: “Mommy, have you ever been to Skate Country (local roller skate rink)?” Me: “When I was a little girl.” Evan: “Wow! It must be old!” Thanks, Evan. Thanks.
3. As Social Distortion cover of “Ring of Fire” played on the radio, Sean said, “Hey! We have this song! On the iPod! But it’s sung by the other guy!” Me: Johnny Cash is the original singer. That’s who we have. Sean: “Oh, I like him better.”
4. The in-laws are coming next week. Lord, help me.
5. I got a new phone last Friday. Then I entered a brief love affair with it. The affair has gone cold as the battery dies.
6. Evan gave a grammar lecture to his dad, who was wrong, and Evan was right. Because I had explained the rule two days before to Evan.
7. The back door handle on the new SUV is broke. Guess what my dad and I are doing tomorrow?
8. And my dad took a look at my stroller and fixed it. YEA!
9. Once among my friends, I was known as the faery girl. Among my newer set of friends, I am known as the vampire and zombie girl. Huh.
10. I have decided to decorate the printer. It’s plainness has finally gotten to me.
