The Thin Line




Do you wish you had an electric car, Mom? Mom? Mom?

 What? 

 Do you wish you had an electric car?

 Not really. I don't really care about cars.

 Why not?

 Because I really don't.

 What about riding in a Blimp over Dodger Stadium when we win the World Series? Would you want to do that?

 No, not really.

 Why not? That's on my bucket list. What's on your bucket list?

Parenting can go either way, but it's a thin line between joy and insanity.

    In our house it is, "Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama."

    Though I have never watched The Family Guy this always makes me laugh.

    On my bucket list is to survive my children's childhoods.

    A very very very thin line, most days.

    I don't think it's a line, actually. I'm pretty convinced it's a Venn diagram with some significant overlap. And Henry's face in that shot? Those eyebrows? I feel fairly confident I know what he's thinking...

      Yes, you're exactly right. And Venn diagrams make me insane, too.

    Just wait until they grow up. And it will all be worth it.
    I swear.

    Oliver is on the right track. With global climate chaos, we should be thinking about electric cars.

      Only when the carbon footprint of electric cars goes down. Manufacturing them and supplying them with electricity is as bad for the planet as burning fossil fuels...

    I can relate. And what is it about kids and bucket lists? I never had a bucket list. Both my girls talk about this...
