Parenting and lifestyle blog for women and moms.
For much of my childhood, my Grandma Jean lived in Claremore, Oklahoma, about a forty-five minute drive from our home in Tulsa. Probably once a month, my parents, my brother Jeremy, and I made the trip there to see her and my Grandpa Bernard. During the car ride, my brother and I would measure how near to Claremore we were by keeping watch out for the Big Blue Whale in a Catoosa, OK pond just off of Route 66.
Tuesday afternoon, at 4:55pm, I deposit the Grey’s Anatomy Season 2, Disc 3 DVD into a big blue box at my local post office here in Tulsa. The DVD is Kansas City bound. Wednesday morning, at 9:27am I get an e-mail from Netflix saying they have received said DVD and noted its return to my account. So again, the breakdown: DVD = My hand –> big blue box at Tulsa post office –> some post office in Kansas City –> Netflix receiving warehouse –> my account. Approximately 17 total hours. SUPERDUPERSONIC.
Katelynn: “Mommy, when was Emma’s birthday?”
Me: “About two months ago.”
Katelynn: “Oh. How old is she?”
Me: “Seven.”
Katelynn: “Oh. When is my birthday?”
Me: “In about one month.”
Katelynn: “Oh. How old will I be?”
Me: “Five.”
Katelynn: “Five? I don’t want to be five. I want to be seven.”
Me: “Sorry. You’re two years younger than Emma so on your birthday you will be five.”
Katelynn: “SEVEN. SEVEN. I WANT TO BE SEVEN.”
Me: “In two years you can be seven. This year you have to be five.”
Katelynn: “You can’t tell me what to do.”
