Mardi Gras Wisdom

Out of the mouths of babes.

Actual conversation on the way the kids (Catholic) school today.

Me: So, kids. Today is Mardi Gras. What are you giving up for Lent?

John: Computer games.

Victoria: Dessert. What about you, Mom?

Me: (birds chirping, crickets.....)

Victoria: Just don't give up alcohol or coffee, please.

So true! I think I should give up parenting for lent. Clearly not doing it to my full (sober) potential!
