My college daughter just texted me and said "Where's your new post?"
Me: "I haven't written one."
Her: "Mooooommmmm."
Me: "Tell me what to write about."
Her: "Psychology. China. Batman."
Hmmmm. Okay. The Psychology of Batman in China. Or maybe she just meant "Write anything, I don't care. Just write!"
So, here's my attempt at writing just anything.
Yesterday I went downstairs to my daughter's room to watch a little TV - I really didn't want my husband to know I was watching "Real Housewives of New Jersey" - he wouldn't understand. As I was lying on her bed, I realized that it wasn't really the TV that drew me to her room . . . I just missed her.
So, as I watched crazy Teresa verbally beating up on Melissa, and Melissa pulling up her top so as to avoid a wardrobe malfunction, and holier-than-thou Caroline standing in the background shaking her head in disgust, I thought of my daughter . . . and smiled. Grateful she's not a real housewife of New Jersey.
LOL That's funny. And hey, take it as a compliment that she wants to read your blog!
ReplyDeleteI think she just has time on her hands :)
DeleteWhat a good daughter for reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteShe IS a good daughter - for a lot of reasons :)
Deleteaw, that is sweet!
ReplyDeleteShe is very sweet - sweeter than me :)
DeleteI get that! Sometimes I go into the room where my daughter grew up and I read or take a nap on the bed. She had a lovely south facing window which is particularly nice on a sunny but cold winter day. I love laying on the bed and remembering when she lived there.
ReplyDeleteYou have a sweet daughter. I love that she nudged you to write a post. And I love that batman cartoon, too.
ReplyDeleteI really needed a nudge today :)
DeleteDid you hear that? Every time you post a blog, a real housewife earns her botox.
ReplyDeleteI love that your daughter reads your blog. You done good.
Thank you for starting my day off with a laugh out loud moment!!
Deletedaughters are very different of sons, I guess.
ReplyDeletei can not imagine what it would be like to have a girl...

DeleteThe psychology of Batman in China! It's so obvious! How on earth did you miss it!
ReplyDeleteAn open mind is a wonderful thing :)

ReplyDeleteAgree !
DeleteI love that you found a pic with Batman and China - hysterical. :) And your daughter is awesome.. We know this because *you* are her mom. :)
ReplyDeleteI was amazed at how many Chinese Batman pics there really are out there! haha
DeleteI love that your daughter encourages you to write! When I've got a bit of writers block, my daughter tells me to write about her. It's her favorite topic!
ReplyDeleteI love when you write about your family!
Delete...and grateful that she looks forward to reading your blog enough to remind you to write. I don't think mine ever looks in.
ReplyDeleteShe told me when she left for college this semester that that's how she starts off her day! Talk about pressure!! haha
