My Mother’s Day Resolutions

9) I will not score gratuitous laughs by creating combination burp, fart, and poop jokes.

10) I will stop telling my four-year-old that he can kick his big brother’s butt if he eats his vegetables. I will also refrain from swapping the word “arse” for “butt” just for cheap giggles.

I'd love to hear how you're doing with resolution #6 - I don't think I ever would have protested having to go to bed if my mother had rapped my bedtime stories and prayers to me!

LOL. Actually my only advice would be to add Resolution #11: Ignore resolutions 1 through 10. It's all too funny and sounds like the stuff of good memories not just for you but for your two boys as well.

Oh my god, I'm dying at the image of your son with a pair of black panties velcroed to his jacket!

Tell us a Story.

You know you've got something to share. Maybe it's something funny, touching, inspirational or informative. Whatever it is, your circle of friends here at DivineCaroline would love to hear from you.
