How to Charm the Pants off Me

flying

Sit right across the aisle from me aboard your very first airplane ride EVER, and during the four hours of your non-stop chatter, when we change altitude and your ears plug up, turn to me and in a loud, carrying, monotone voice tell me, “Momma, my voice! I sound like the radio! My voice is like the radio, Mom! La la la, twinkle, twinkle little star! La la la la la LA LA LA LA! MOM! MY VOICE IS LIKE A ROBOT ON THE RADIO!! HUH, MOM! HUH!!”

(Honestly. And don’t even me started on what happened when I misguidedly attempted to stop the flow of chatter– the diarrhea of the mouth, if you will– by sticking my Sony noise-cancelling headphones on her…)

    Those kids are so darned cute I want to SQUEEEEZE them. Really hard. This is why I’m not safe around children.

    Seriously, the matching headbands are putting me over the edge. I miss them already!!

    Does your daughter wear her headband on her forehead like that too? I am constantly telling my youngest it goes on TOP of her head, not in the middle of her forehead!!

    Adorable munchkins you have!

    Vajana, she’s totally tapping into her inner Olivia Newton John.

    Bet Cat fed her lots of fig newtons.

    Didntcha.

    Shut up - one of those moods.
