Parenthood, the responsibility that never ends.
Have you ever had your kid tell you first thing in the morning that they were supposed to bring cupcakes for the whole class today? So you frantically cook cupcakes and barely get them to school on time, because that's what parents do.
Today our daughter, an RN who works at the local hospital called us at 11:30 to tell us she was supposed to buy a Mexican lunch for her staff for Cinco de Mayo. So we run to a Mexican restaurant, pick up a bunch of food and rush it to the hospital just in time for lunch. This daughter is 51 years old.

2. The same thing I would do!

I was scrambling last night and today because I didn’t feel I had anything 21st birthday worthy for my son. Between my daughter, his girlfriend, and myself, I think he’ll have a nice one.
We’ve had to put his real present on hold for a bit because of my health issues.  |
