I did not shed joyful tears over many wonderful birthday cards and greetings. That would have meant that I was impressed and overwhelmed by the fact that I'd made it to #30 all in one piece and that I was even enjoying it somehow! Weeping over outpourings of love would have meant that I was thankful beyond measure for the beautiful life I'm privileged to live and the family and friends that share in it. No, not me!
I did not squeal the tires of my mini-van, in the presence of all my children, while pulling away from a fragmented four-way stop.
I certainly did not burn my tongue on a hot glass dish, dripping with melted vanilla almond bark, peanut butter mixture, right after carefully picking it up with a deliberately mitted hand. Hello-oh!
I would never have wondered if it would be out of the question to ask my 4 year old child to change my 2 year old's diaper. How outrageous would that have been?
Nice "not-me's". Your children are adorable.

Totally laughed about the diaper thought. I most certainly have not wondered the same thing about my 5yo son. Now's a good time to learn, right?
