Judgmental Parenting Part 1

 

Couldn't decide which version I liked better so here's both :)

I feel like this is going to be a series. Thankfully this is not a true story in that I have not gotten this unhelpful phrase thrown at me (that I recall - maybe I'm just blocking that unhelpful encounter from my memory) - but I did have the picnicking situation described happen. In my experience, other parents tend to be super helpful and understanding, and commiserating with them is a help not drain. Sometimes kids are just weird and do unexpected, unhinged things and all you can do is warn your fellow parents that this may happen to them. Also, my son really likes ducks and might just quack at you.

J: Well, you knew what you were getting into when you decided to have kids.
L: Really?! Did I know that my kid would open up his PB&J and slap it on my leg while we were picnicking in the park with far too many ants? Did I?!?!
O: Quack! {or} *licking PB&J off my leg*

Folding Fitted Sheets

 

Happy Birthday to my brother-in-law!

So this one is from a few summers ago when I found out that not everyone knows how to fold up a fitted sheet. I learned in college because I had a speech class which had a demonstration speech as one of the projects and I did origami but someone else very helpfully did how to fold a fitted sheet and I have used that knowledge every time I have to fold a fitted sheet. [You have to line up the corner seams and nest them together and make a rectangle then fold as desired.]

L: We just need to fold it like a fitted sheet.
N: So, poorly?
