Best. Mama’s. Day. Gift. Ever.
Dear Mini-Me,
The tulips, delivered to my front door yesterday, were indeed wonderful. Bright, fresh, and lovely.
The mini mylar balloon was cute.
The chocolates, which you and your little sister ate the majority of helped me eat, were heavenly.
But this afternoon, you topped yourself when you came bounding into my bedroom with a large collection of Dilbert comic strips published in 1996, two years before you were born. And you read your favorites to me. And you got them. You really got them.
You just don’t know how very glad you made this old sarcastic/nerd-girl/bookish mama-heart of mine. You just don’t know.
In the words of Dilbert’s boss: “My proactive leadership must be working.”
Praise be.

Amen to the power of proactive mamaship!

Aww, Dilbert. Can I borrow her so she can explain Dilbert to me?

LOL @ Meir. Only if your T comes and cooks for me!

Shite - you mean I didn’t wish you a Happy Mother’s day? Well, slap me silly and call me Sammy! Actually, it’s not even a day I ever really think about. It’s a Western creation I think, and we never celebrated “mother’s day” in my home hood. So, I’m still adjusting to your “ways” here on this strange, foreign planet called the USA :o) Happy belated mama’s day, regardless… looks like you had a memorable one!
