(Total disclaimer: The kids are all right. Pop culture has told me so.)
1) You’ve put on a movie so that you can write a killer post on how great it is to be a parent. (“Please let Mary Poppins do her job- Mother is waxing nostalgic.”)
2) Your children have begun to pause in the middle of an game and say “You’re gonna need a picture of this.” (Bonus points if they inform their little sister that she needs to wait while Mom applies a better filter.)
3) Every outing inspires the question “What’s this for?” (“It’s the park. We’re going to the park because it’s summer and you’re my children and no one is requesting a 500 word article about- wait a sec, I could totally spin this for a Summer Fun round up.”)
4) Common requests from your children include the gem “Look at me with your eyes.” (Extra-special-therapy-worthy guilt? When you finally do look at them with your eyes, it’s still over the top of a laptop screen.)
5) Someday, your kids will surf the internet and stumble upon a post detailing their messiest childhood moments. Also? Dozens of strangers will have commented, shared, and LOL’d. (But children, maybe we shouldn’t have been so free with the baby powder-flingin’, ever thought of that one?)
Now hush. Mama’s making a memory.
