Words I Never Thought I'd Say

Early this morning, I was outside watering plants, a fact to which I alerted my children so they wouldn't wonder where I was when they noticed I was gone.

Since they had been engrossed in play, I wasn't expecting them to wander out to find me, but naturally, they did. Such is the allure of a mother.

Fortunately, I had progressed to the front yard by the time they ambled out the front door, dressed inappropriately for the outdoors.

"You can't be outside in underwear and a boa!" I said.

And that was to our son.
