Are you my child?

A note from your publisher...

January 11, 2017

Have you ever had a moment where one of your children did something and it seriously makes you take a step back and ask yourself  "Are you my child?".  Or, how about a moment where you just KNOW, "Ok, you are TOTALLY my child".   

When my son was three years old, I heard a loud crash coming out of my bedroom.   I knew he was probably ok because of the sound of pitter patter feet escaping, but still went running as any mother would.  After finding said child (completely ok without a scratch), I walk into the bedroom to find the ceiling fan - completely torn out of the ceiling and on the floor.  
How in the ...  

His 3 year old explanation?  He decided he would climb onto my dresser and jump onto the ceiling fan because he wanted to fly ... like superman.  I can't make this stuff up people.  He is my monkey, has probably caused most of my gray hairs, but wouldn't have him any other way. Although I don't think I ever thought to jump on a ceiling fan, I did drive my mom nuts by making steps out of kitchen drawers to get to the top of the refrigerator - at three years old. SO, he is TOTALLY my child and brings sunshine to my life - well most of the time.  

I'm sure you probably have a funny story to share with us!  Whether it be your significant other, son, daughter, or relative - tell us a quick story that made you wonder for just a split second - "Are you seriously related to me?"  

We want to hear - tell us by commenting below!

Peace, Love and Noodles,
