Today I was going to write a serious post about having adult children in today’s times. I read a magazine article this morning that had some interesting points, so I threw it in my bag on my way out the door to go to NY with my daughter for the holidays, figuring I’ll write the post tonight when I get there.
We weren’t on the road twenty minutes and the Facebook banter between the two girls started. My daughter in NY commented on my yesterday’s post and my daughter who was in the car with me answered back:
NY daughter: “Mom you are sweet. You must miss your favorite daughter???”
Boston daughter: “She doesn’t cuz I’m sitting right next to her! Muhahaha…”
Then my sister is posting “Wrapping presents, playing with puppies, baking bread!” (We spend Xmas eve at her house and she loves it)
Then the two girls again:
NY daughter calls Boston daughter and the end of the conversation goes:
NY daughter: “Don’t annoy me before I even get there.”
Me: “Haha! You should’ve asked her if she wanted to talk to me!”
Boston daughter: “Are you staying with us tonight?”
NY daughter: “Will there be food?”
And now, here, all of us at dinner discussing what we got people for Xmas and it turned out that I mistakenly bought an inappropriate gift for someone and we were laughing so hard I was on the floor in tears……
We’ve had dinner, wine, and so begins another Bartosik family holiday in this tiny NY apartment with both kids on a futon and an air mattress in an 8×8 space that also includes the Xmas tree….and….
There’s no way I can be serious tonight.
And so, as another day goes by, that’s all I have to say about adult children in today’s times, tonight is the hardest I’ve laughed all year, and..I have written.
