Daily Distraction
My kid: “Have you ever noticed that the word DIE is in dialysis?” ————-
Me: “I wonder how I should end this very serious letter.”
My kid (knowing subject matter): “I think you should sign it…So long, Freak.”
Me (feeling very overwhelmed with the world of special needs and in tears): “I swear, even I don’t know how we do it sometimes.” Husband: “Alcohol and low expectations.”
Understatement of the Century Son to sister: “A twinkie is not a vegetable.”
A little daily distraction never hurt anyone (and it’s okay, we’re desperate for a distraction too).
