Years ago, Bill Cosby had a sketch that talked about kids having brain damage. At the time that it was released, I was just a kid myself and had NO CLUE what the heck he was talking about. Now that I am a parent.... I fully understand! Kids get side tracked very easily!! You ask them to do something and they find 100 things to do along the way.
Each morning, I have to constantly remind my kids to "start eating", "eat the food, not play with it", "finish eating", "go brush your teeth" etc. Teeth brushing is where we fall apart every morning. Some how the walk up the stairs becomes the world's longest distraction!!! This morning, I must have said. GO BRUSH YOUR TEETH five times. I finally stopped ironing clothes to see what was going on and I witness Miss Thang sitting in the hallway, reading from her "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" book to her brother who was doing the "Stanky Legg", while he listened. What part of brush your teeth means story time and act like you're at the dance club?
A peek into my semi-functional family's day to day happenings as we navigate through this wonderful thing called life.
