The Naked Truth about Motherhood

From Alesia, laughing again

Here it is, Friday night, and my hot, glamourous evening consisted of popcorn, Halloween candy, and a showing of Chicken Little in a theater filled with what seemed like KAJILLIONS of very loud children.

Mine were among the loudest.

At least Princess, who is very dramatic and likes to shriek and pretend to cover her eyes at the scary parts, for example when the cartoon pig falls down.

He fell down a LOT.

My eardrums may in fact be BLEEDING.

So we’re having cultural dissonance this week, because my children don’t even know the basic cornerstones of deep philosophical truths such as the danger of only bringing one shirt on a Three-Hour Tour. Or who really is Creepy and Kooky.

On the other hand, I have zero appreciation for the fact that my son could probably stare into the screen of a Gameboy for days on end, without food or water, if we – the horribly mean parents – would only let him.

Sigh. But at least today they were properly penitent about not being more excited on Release Day. Princess said, “I only have one question, Mommy. Why is the truth naked?”

Hmmm. Out of the mouths of babes . . .

Happy weekending!!
