Harp, Rose and I were getting ready for some summer park action this morning when Harp hit me with this:
Harp: Mom, you know why I'm doing everything you ask me to do the first time you ask?
Mom: I can't imagine why, dear heart. I did notice the unusual compliance, but didn't want to dissuade you from your current unexplained and unusual course. (Slightly enhanced language to adjust for pre-coffee verbal incoherence)
Harp: Well, I just didn't want to stress you out. You're not stressed are you?
Mom: No - not feeling particularly stressed right now.
Harp: Do you know why you're not stressed?
Mom: No. I guess I've had enough sleep.
Harp: Yeah, maybe, but it's also because I snuck into your room last night and poured "no-stress potion" into your mouth.
Mom: Ah, really?
Harp: Yeah, it's only for kids to give parents, so parents won't get stressed out and yell at their kids.
Mom: Dude, great concept - love the idea.
Harp: But it's a secret. I probably shouldn't have told you that. Tonight I'll give you the "no remembering potion," so you'll forget this conversation.
Honest to god.....

I'd pay ANY amount for the "no stress potion" -- she could earn a lot of money...
Hiya, this is Nala--fantastic blog. My dad mentioned you had one and I googled "steam kettle parents." Someone should have turned me on to this long ago; it's the perfect way to keep tabs on the lot of you! Keep writing :-)
