| I can't help myself. I keep
picking out clothes for you!
It's a mom thing.
Hopefully my selections will
suit you! |
| Your father and I went on a
trip abroad.
Don't worry! Of course we
got you a souvenir! |
| Your father bought me a new
refrigerator, bless his heart.
Modern appliances really are
amazing. And so's your dad! |
| I bought a fancy new outfit
for my school reunion, but
I forgot to take the tag off.
I was so embarrassed! |
| I've become extremely
health conscious lately.
I've even started tai chi!
Or was it chai tea? You
should try it, whatever it is! |
| I've been bragging about you
to all the neighbors. But of
course they do the same for
their kids.
You're still the best, though! |
| All of my house plants died.
Again. Why does this keep
happening?
No matter what I do,
nothing seems to work. |
| I bought this without even
trying it on. It was such an
impulse buy!
But it doesn't fit. So I'm
giving it to you. |
| Guess what I put on my
toothbrush in my morning
daze?
I almost brushed my teeth
with your dad's foot cream! |
| I bought this on sale. You
know I can't resist a sale.
I bought it. Then I promptly
stuffed it in my closet. |
| Whenever I'm not sure what
to make for dinner...
I just cook what I think you
would want me to cook. |
| Sometimes I take my bike to
go shopping. Don't tell your
father, but...
Whenever I do, I sneak some
sweets on the way home. |
| I'm your mom, so naturally
I know what you like.
I wrestled this away from
someone at a bargain sale! |
| You need to eat something
nutritious so you don't catch
a cold!
I'm sending you some fruit. |
| I was puttering around in my
garden the other day, and I
found a four-leaf clover!
I gently pressed it in my
pocketbook. |
| This time I mean it. I'm going
to give up sugar for good!
I'm sending you this to prove
how serious I am! |
| A clerk called me "young
lady."
So I bought this even though
I didn't need it. |
| Your dad tends to get in a
rush when his TV shows are
about to start.
The other day he squirted
ketchup everywhere! |
| There's a handsome fellow
down the street who's been
catching my eye.
It's a puppy in the pet shop!
Don't tell your dad! |
| My friend always walks
around with these gigantic
books.
And she bookmarks pages
she hasn't even read yet! |
| Your dad was in full-on
"Captain DIY" mode again.
He had sweatbands on and
everything. |
| Recently people are wearing
glasses even if they don't
need them.
It's become very fashionable. |
| Your father and I went out
for a ride on his motorcycle
the other day.
Leather jackets, hair blowing
in the wind. We were so wild! |
| I went out for a really
expensive lunch without
telling your father.
I'm sending you a present
to balance out my karma. |
| I'm really into entering
mail-in sweepstakes
recently.
I've even won a few! I guess
I'm just lucky. |
| I found one of your old
picture books on the
bookshelf.
The memory of little you
reading it made me misty. |
| A dark shadow was following
me down our street the
other day.
I started to run, but it turns
out it was just your dad. |
| Your father and I aren't too
old to go to the theme park
once in a while.
We had a whale of a time
on our anniversary! |
| After making the bed, I took
a little nap on top of the
covers.
One of the little indulgences
of the stay-at-home mom. |
| I went to a dance class with
a friend of mine.
But I was so stiff from my
spin class, I could barely
move my legs! |
| One of the neighbor's cats
had the cutest kittens!
Your dad keeps going to
visit them. |
| I love being surrounded by
flowers.
Your father is always picking
them for me. He's such an
old softy! |
| I found an old picture of you
while cleaning out the attic.
Your dad and I ended up
talking about you for hours. |
| Lately I've been doing face
exercises every morning.
I managed to really startle
your father the other day! |
| I bought three of these by
mail order.
Your dad and I are both
using ours! |
| I've been focusing on my
posture and trying to look
more elegant.
But your dad makes silly
faces, and I get the giggles. |
| I'm really excited about this
new fruit smoothie I saw on
TV the other day.
You should really give
smoothie making a try! |
| I won this in a raffle the
other day.
What I really wanted
was the cruise. |
| Your dad and I got dressed
up and went out on a date.
But all we talked about was
you. We miss you! |
| Here's a trip down memory
lane: "Say cheese! Stop
making that face!"
I don't have any nice
pictures of you. |
| Honey, I just want to tell you
that it's good to be patient!
You'll get that much more
happiness later on. |
| I wanted to give your dad's
lunch a little pizzazz.
So I added banana slices to
his PB&J. I'm so crazy! |
| Thanks for growing up and
becoming so independent so
quickly.
You are such a treasure. |
| I was looking at your old
birthday height marks on
the door frame today.
I wonder how high your mark
would be now? |
| Cooking is best when you do
it for someone.
Without you here, I don't
have the motivation. Your
dad will still eat anything. |
| I'm always checking the
tabloids for celebrity news.
I can't get enough of those
stars and their romances.
Are you seeing anyone? |
| I love that three-in-the-
afternoon break in the
laundry.
It's the perfect moment for
Mom's Snack-Time Fun! |
| I ended up chatting with the
neighbors for hours today.
I completely forgot about
the big sale at the mall! |
| I accidentally went to a
party with my clothes on
inside out.
I just told everyone it's all
the rage in women's fashion. |
