I’m going to Seattle tomorrow to visit my BFF.
“So what are your plans?” N asks. “What are you going to do in Seattle?”
“We will lie in beds and watch Law & Order reruns,” I explain.
“But why?” he asks.
“Because we are mothers of small children,” I say.
“But what’s the point of going all the way to Seattle to stay in bed and watch TV?”
“Because we are mothers of small children,” I say.
“But you could do something fun, visit museums, go on a hike,” he perseveres.
“MOTHERS. OF. SMALL. CHILDREN!” I bellow.
Show me a mother of small children whose idea of fun is something other than to lie in bed and space out, and I’ll show you a pink unicorn.
