Growing up there are always things that annoy us about our parents. Particularly as a teenager, we think about how silly are parents are and how when we grow up we will be nothing like them. Much to the dismay of our youth, as we grow up and enter a similar stage of life as our parents, those characteristics that we were so bothered with before seem to be the ones that we find we take on first and see nothing wrong with today. Here is a short list of how I am becoming my darling mother:
1. The first thing that I do when I get in the car is tune to 1010 WINS for news, weather and traffic reports. Who cares about music if I haven’t given them 22 minutes?
2. When I come home, the first thing that I do is take off my work clothes and get comfortable, in other words put on my pajamas.
3. My favorite thing to wear is fleece sweatpants.
4. When I come home with groceries I honk, ring the doorbell and wait for help.
5. There is always something (an essential element of the evening’s meal) that I need you to pick up on your way home.
I can’t wait to have children and see what other elements of my beautiful, darling mother shine through!
Maybe I should change the title for this post, a few too many people have told me that they misread it. No, for the record, I am not becoming A mother, I am becoming MY mother!
Is there something I should know??!??!?!
I knew it would happen sooner or later. Hope you never ask “What’s a sweetpotato?”
