When your son’s baseball team wins the regional All-Star Championship tournament,
that’s a High.
When your same son accidentally tags his little brother in the eye with a baseball bat immediately after the game,
that’s a Low.
When, a few minutes later, that same son accidentally runs full tilt
into a parallel bar on the playground
with his left cheekbone,
that’s a Low.
When, the next morning, you discover the result of another son forgetting to do his chore
of taking the big garbage can to the curb for the 3rd week in a row
is a can crawling with hundreds of maggots,
that’s another Low.

And when a son places a live creature with pincers
next to your ear at a crawfish boil,
that, my friends,
is an Unexpected.
My advice to parents:
If you can expect the Highs, expect the Lows,
and expect the Unexpected,
you should be just fine.
Except…when the Unexpected is getting a mile down the road and glancing behind you to find one car seat empty because you accidentally left a kid at home.
But that has never happened to me. Not this past Sunday. Not on the way to church.
Nope. Not. Me.
Child? What child? Lol.
Hahaha! I’m laughing so hard. Great post. Hilarious photo!
Oh good! Glad it made you laugh 🙂 Us mommas gotta hang together and laugh at the craziness. That’s what keeps us sane (or…relatively sane, right?!)
