Yesterday, Adrian was asking me if the purple flowers we have in our backyard were our state flower. I had no idea what our state flower was so I asked him and doubled over in laughter when he replied, “it’s the purple irish, mama!”
I had no idea. And no. We don’t have them in our backyard.

Because of the spring weather, our poor dogs have recently been plagued with ticks. We are diligently searching them and AJ has been very concerned for their health and our health, too. He asked me, with the most earnest face, “Mama, if the dogs keep ticks on them, will they get mime disease, like us?”
Me: “Will they get what, Adrian?”
Him: “Mime disease?”
It was all I could do to contain my laughter as I pictured my dogs with white powdered faces and red cheeks.

Adrian: “Mom! Dad made my toy gun LOUDER!”
Me: “Adrian, that’s awesome!” (to myself) “And I’ll take care of dad for that later.”
Life is like a game. We all have challenges, thoughts, opinions and beliefs. Often, it feels like something out there, life, karma, catty people, or blue shells (for the Kart lovers), seeks to bring us down. Luckily, we always get up. This is where I wear my heart on my sleeve and my foot in my mouth.
