2018 Mothers Day Antics

PUBLIC MOM: 
Thank you so much.  Happy Mother’s Day to you too! Yes, I’m so lucky. Yes, it’s so much easier than when they were younger. It’s a pleasure now, really. 

SCARY MOM SEEKING PRIVATE PHOTO OP: 
WHYYY WHYYYY can't you guys just ALL look at the camera and smile.. a NICE smile.. AT the same time?? 
No crying, 
No 'he's touching me - make him stop touching me’
No 'I took a photo like this last year, I don't want to do it aaa-GAIN.’ 
Just take the freakin photo so we can be DONE and I can get the ONLY freakin Mother's Day gift I EVER ask for. 
A flippin’ photo.. 
of ALL my flippin’ kids
looking HAPPY
together 
in ONE single photo
smiling
ALL in the same direction
preferably AT the camera
AT the SAME time
and with their eyes OPEN
ALL of them
ON Mothers Day. 


Thank you VERY much.

Pop:  Mom! How was your class! Did you talk about me! Did you talk about me!! Mom:  Haha, actually I did. We talked about nature versus nurture.  So of course, I had to speak about my favorite set of twins :) Pop:  Which one am I?! Which one am I?! Mom:  Haha, well, it doesn’t quite work that way.  It’s not about which one you are.  Pop:  What’s the difference between... what’s the two words again? Nature and what else? Crackle:  It's simple.  Nature is what God gave you and Nurture is what Mom gave you.  Mom:  WHAT did you say???  Wait a minute...  Are you reading my text book again? Are you up to Chapter 3?!

Pop: Mom... I want everyone to be kind to one another. I don’t want any more bad things to happen to people, especially to children. How can I bring peace into the world?  I can imagine it, but I don’t know how to do it.  Can you help me figure out how I could do it?  Mom: Ahh, yes… I understand those feelings and the idea you have. That is a very beautiful and noble idea. We'll explore it together - as a family.  You know, there is a man who wrote a song about this very thing.  Let’s listen to it.  Pop: Really?  So I’m not the only one?  Mom: No, you are not. Pop: Well, I really didn’t think I was the only one.  But... can I talk to him? Maybe we could work on this together?
