My own private peanut gallery

I had a little coughing fit in the car this morning—I hate it when my coffee goes down the wrong pipe—and decided to keep both hands on the steering wheel as I tried to simultaneously clear my windpipe and merge into rush-hour traffic.  A certain 39-inch passenger was unmoved by my predicament.

“Cover! Your! MOUF!” she ordered from her throne in the backseat.

I didn’t know whether to be proud or terrified.

Yeah, that’s touch one. I guess she was practicing a childlike version of tough love. Nice to hear your voice the other day!What were you doing in Michaels? Crafting?

I don’t know either, these dang kids observe and process everything.

Definately proud (and slightly afraid). And what were you doing in Michael’s?

My lover Justin Timberlake sings a song called “What Goes Around / Comes Around” and I started singing that, thinking of your parenting coming back to slap you in the FACE! So cute … you should be proud!

I think you should err on the side of fear. Micheals?!
