Leave? Ha!


So let's say my boss comes in and starts animatedly talking.

"Gee, boo, gee, booo ahhhh!" Says he, pointing and gesticulating at me wildly.

Translation- "Mother, you've worked so hard and done such a fantastic job at raising me so far that I am giving you a three month reprieve. Go, be free, wander!"

"Ha!" I'd say. "Why in the world would I want a break from my life?!"

I mean, why would I want to leave a baby who runs around the house like a looney toon, tearing things out of drawers and off of shelves faster than I can say "no"?

Or choose to relax on Greek beaches when there are public pools all over this fine city?


Who would even think about taking bike rides in the crisp New England air when they have a perfectly good stroller and 100 degree weather at their disposal?


Or hope to have a snowy Thanksgiving meal when they have the opportunity to eat outside with friendly mosquitos?


Not I, my friends, not I.



I mean, I was simply throwing those other options out there...

  1. See that's why I found this prompt a little difficult. My 3 month break would have to include my people. I can't leave for 3 months without them. 3 weeks...maybe... :)

  6. Hahaha, why would you even bring up such ridiculous things?! Greek beaches?! If it's not surrounded by concrete and full of chlorine it's not for me.
