Me in my 20s: driving through neighborhoods completely oblivious to what the speed limit is

Me in my 30s with kids: chasing down and yelling at any car that appears to be going any faster than 25mph

My son came in my room this morning and asked: “mom, do I have your eyelashes?”

Hi @Starbucks! Just waited 40 minutes for a mobile order your app estimated would be ready in 8 minutes. My two toddlers did not cooperate very well, in case you were wondering.

I regularly wake up out of a deep sleep convinced I hear my children, when in fact they are fast asleep. It’s a real talent. 🤦🏼‍♀️

One hour making tailgate food. Half hour getting everyone bundled up. Two hours chasing children in a parking lot.

Actual time in the stadium: 10 minutes.

Fitz at 8:15 at night trying to delay bedtime: “Mom, let’s talk about my construction site. Dad is going to be the boss and I am going to drive all the construction vehicles. You can have a shovel to dig.”
