Basic Mom Week in Review - 10/21/18
/5 Things That Actually Happened This Week and the Lessons I Learned
1. While eating licorice ropes at our friends’ house, my 5-year-old loudly exclaimed, “I like cherry liquor, Mama!”
Lesson: I’m so embarrassed. Cherry is disgusting.
2. My 5-year-old unintentionally bit the shape of Mickey Mouse into her apple.
Lesson: Unintentionally biting the shape of a cartoon character into an apple is VERY exciting to a 5-year-old.
3. This exchange while playing restaurant with my 5-year-old:
Me: What can I get for you?
5-Year-Old: I would like the steak burger, no onions.
Me: Okay. How would you like that cooked? Medium?
5-Year-Old: Um, small.
Lesson: English is tricky.
4. Someone I know from high school bought a play house from my garage sale for $10 and then posted it for sale on a Facebook group a few days later for $30.
Lesson: The child house flipping business is cutthroat!
5. My husband sent a photo from his work trip of a beautiful vineyard in Newport, Rhode Island where he was enjoying a wine tasting:
In response I sent him a picture of myself drinking coffee while giving my 5-year-old a bath:
Lesson: Anyone know of any basic suburban mom work trips I can go on?
