Tales From the Coffee Shop

Blasts from the Past this week of early writing from yours truly - must be Mercury in Retrograde that has been going through old journals and unsent letters to ghosts from my past.

My brother and me on Parenthood

George, my brother, was holding our 1 year old baby cousin when I realized what a great father he will be one day. I told him so and he replied with a thank you. We were taking our other cousin downstairs to look for a movie when I told him I thought I would make a horrid mother.

My other cousin, Sophie, was trailing down the stairs after me at that point and while I was distracted she yelled "Hey wait for me!"

Case in point: I practically forgot she was there. I'll be a typical Aquarian mother I figure: leaving the kid's toys in the freezer and worrying more about my dogs than my kids.
