10. Well, You Can’t Say He Is Indecisive
Asked my son if he could go anywhere in the world, where would he go? He said, McDonald’s. I said no, like a country. He said, OHHHH okay…McDonald’s in Japan.

11. More Ouchies. Growing Old Hurts A Lot!
Daughter: Look, I’m dressed like someone from your time

Me: What time do you think I’m from??
Daughter: You know, the 19s
One day, in 20 or so years, she’ll get a dose of karma from her own kids.
12. Hey, I’ll Take It!
This morning my daughter lovingly touched my face and in the sweetest voice said “you don’t look that old mom”

Any compliment is a good compliment, right?
Think about the kids with no filter rampaging through life as you go about your day. Be envious. We can’t get away with it as adults, but we can dream! I will leave you with one of my daughter’s unfiltered moments from second grade.
My daughter was always the smallest kid in her class. As a single parent, I had opted to tell her who her father was when I felt she was ready. He was in our lives but preferred the role of “uncle.” At seven, when the other kids talked about their dads at school, she felt left out and became curious. I finally told her. She set her little hands on her hips, got an indignant expression, and exclaimed, “Ughh, he’s the shortest man I know!” We knew we weren’t getting a basketball player, but that news upset her!
Enjoy your day. Don’t bite your tongue too hard. And above all else, smile. It releases feel-good endorphins and makes everyone else wonder what you’re thinking!
