I Believe...

By: Michele Sbrana (View Profile)

 

I believe that if I wash and vacuum my car, refill the windshield washer reservoir and top off the gas tank, then that strange noise—and no, Mr. Mechanic, I can't describe it—will miraculously disappear.

 

I believe with all my heart that my children will grow up to be self-assured, successful, well-balanced, compassionate human beings, never needing therapy over unresolved parental issues, will one day realize that I'm truly the coolest and hippest Mom that ever lived...with only the slightest difficulty recognizing truth from fiction.

Amen.

Wonderful story! My way of trying to get out of a store without purchasing too much is to grab a basked instead of a cart. You know me, I'm the woman standing at the checkout with the overflowing basket, carrying a gallon of milk and hugging several things to my chest.

I loved this story. I can't get out of Target or Costco with out filling a cart no matter what I went in there for. I'm going tomorrow to get my kids new toothbrushes. I can only imagine what that will lead to. Let's see toothbrushes are near the cosmetic aisle. Probably a cart full of wrinkle cream at the very least.
It feels good to write.
