My daughter is interviewing with an ice cream shop. I told her that when they ask if she has any questions, she should say “Yeah, can you give me the SCOOP on what it’s like to work here?”
Me: You wanna watch the baseball game with me?
Teen daughter: No. I don’t like baseball.
Me: I didn’t like Little Mermaid, but I watched it 1,387 times. Now, go get your hat and jersey on.
My teen has informed us that when she has kids, she’s going to limit screen time, take them hiking, teach them how to raise chickens and milk cows, demonstrate the value of work.
This is the same kid who won’t take her shoes upstairs
Texts with my teen while she’s on Spring Break:
Me: Hope you have a great time, love you!
Daughter:
Me: How’s the beach?
Daughter:
Me: Hope your week is good. Send pics!
Daughter:
Me: See you in a couple days!
Daughter: Can you add money to my account?
Every Sunday night, I once again lie in bed thinking of the 3 things I needed to do over the weekend that would’ve taken like 10 minutes and I still didn’t do them.
My dog just let out a sigh like she worked a 12 hour shift, sat in traffic, picked up the 3 kids from daycare, made dinner and just wants 5 minutes to herself
