"I found the best stick in the world and it has three leaves and this acorn hat on it and I'm going to need to let it live in the house for the rest forever. You know what I mean, Mom?"
The stick debate is rampant in my house. We finally agreed he can collect any sticks as long as they stay right outside the front door. It's worked very well. On Saturday, the gardeners "cleaned up" all the sticks. This did NOT go very well.
New plan: Sticks come in the house Saturday mornings and go back outside Saturday afternoons.
I spent 16 years in the television business. I worked, by turns, as a writer, director, producer, casting associate, and the gal who gets everybody’s Starbucks order. Later, I spent time as a counselor at an outpatient program for adorable teens with un-adorable psych and addiction issues. Working in the orbit of actors, rock stars, comedians, and teenagers prepared me for my current gig as the stay-at-home mother of a kindergartner named Bob. Now, it’s like the circus has come to town everyday. I am living the dream.
Awesome!

DeleteA good stick can really make your day.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Sister.
DeleteI'll bet any stick would be right happy to live at your house, with Bob at his side... shucks. :)

DeleteFor the rest of forever. Definitely gonna use this in my everyday vocabulary. no joke.
