“I’m all like” October 22, 2012
We got Charlotte all excited for a birthday party Saturday morning. I explained how the toy truck was not for her as I put it in the gift bag. (I only wrap at Christmas. Don’t judge.) Greyson was all like, “Who’s party is this again?”
I explained it was for Harrison. He is the darling, toe-headed 3-year-old of my dear friend Beth Anne. She is my sorority sister and Internet maven. I was all like, “You know, Beth Anne. Her husband went to school with us too.” He said, “Oh, are they cool?” I was all like, “Um, yeah. I told you she is one of my sisters. We were the best chapter on campus, so yeah. I’d say they’re cool.” He reminded me that I am a 31 year-old mother and really need to let the sorority days go. (Never!)
I dolled up Charlotte in a little fall frock and off we went. We were about 20 minutes late. I figure it was cool to be fashionably late to a party. I was all like, “Charlotte, can you say ‘Happy Birthday Harry!’?” She giggled.
I rang the bell and Beth Anne stared at me like I had five heads. She was all like, this.
Beth Anne and I doubled over in giggles at my stupidity. The party is next Saturday. Greyson was all like, “Seriously, Amy?” My mistake meant I got to hug my friend and get a sneak peek of her new house.
Charlotte was all like, “I want cake!” I was all like, “Yeah, too bad. We’re gonna go get flu shots and vote early.”
In the car Greyson was all like, “She’s cool. I like her.” I was all like, “I told you.”
No surprise. I got the date at our Early Voting precinct wrong too. Guess when it opens? Yep. Next Saturday.
The family flu shots were somewhat successful. I was all like, “I want to try the new type of flu shot with the 90% smaller needle that hurts less! Oh! It’s covered by our insurance!” Greyson and I got the new shot and Charlotte got the standard pediatric dose. We tried to be brave in front of our toddler but both of us were all like, “Ugh! Hurts less, my ass!” Our arms are still red two days later.
About as red as Greyson’s face standing on Beth Anne’s steps.
Spread it around:
I love that you showed up a week early and that she wasn’t phased. You two are too cute. :> And cool. Of course. I wish my “sistahs” *we went to school in NY, ya know?* lived near me!
Thanks! There’s just something about Sorority Sisters. They are the best! ::muah::
I am so in love with this post! I always have this fear when I show up to parties. Sorry the flu shot wasn’t fun. We had to be brave for ours in front of the kids too. And you NEVER have to let go of our sorority days! It is a part of us and besides – How else would we have lullaby songs to sing to our children? Love it!!!
Love you! I’m glad you sing pref songs to your babies too!
It was the best Saturday surprise ever.
I get to see you for real this week! Yipee!!!!
hahshaha that is awesome!
Right?! Ha! Such an “Amy Moment”.
