I have two basic rules in life that I follow without question. The first rule makes children that aren’t mine very happy. The second rule makes my children continuously annoyed…
1. Never pass a lemonade stand without buying a cup.
This can require a lot of u-turns…
2. Never pass a Photo Booth without going in.
My kids know the deal, happy, sad or mad, we’re going in. They know I am not the “say cheese” kinda mom — so frowning, shooting me dirty looks or crazy faces— are all, exactly right.
It’s kinda like Oz, you never know whats going to happen behind the curtain, but you’ll remember it forever.
