“Teddy
said it was a hat, So I put it on. Now dad is saying, "where the heck's
the toilet plunger gone?” – Shel Silverstein
My daughter had a performance
at her school a few days ago. OMG. Almost on cue, the moment the curtain rose, parents
rose - with cameras, cell phones, video recorders, etc. Fewer people get to their feet for the national anthem!
My daughter was on
stage trying to hide behind the other kids. I whispered to my husband that I
could tell she hadn’t practiced as she didn’t know the words to the songs. I
had to repeat this 3 times as he was too busy playing on his new iPhone5. (Who
are the kids here??) Well, my 5 year old overheard me and yelled so everyone
could hear, “Sis, Mom said you didn’t practice. Why didn’t you practice?” My
daughter was horrified. I saw her crouch down and try to hide. Siblings: the
only people who pick on you for their own entertainment and beat up anyone else
who tries.
Supposedly sibling
relationships are where we learn sharing and cooperation. Really? Not sure how
THAT happens! My own memories of sibling drama include my brother telling the
neighborhood boys that I had boobs, and my sister tackling me one New Years’
Eve because she had had too much to drink.
So, if your kids are
driving you crazy with their arguing and competition for attention, leave them
with their father (or anyone else you can find) and get together with your girlfriends. Have a couple of our Estro-tinis. They're
Estro-tini

Pour liquid ingredients into a martini shaker full of
ice. Shake well and pour into a martini glass. Garnish with a cherry. No need to add estrogen!
