"Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keep friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment."

I LOVE to laugh and even through this dreadful runaway situation, I've managed to see the humor and the absurdity in it all! This morning I was treated to the best text message I've EVER received from Abbie and I laughed until I about fell out of bed!
What did her text message say, you ask?
Ready?
CAN U SEND ME MY EASTER BASKET?!
I get the feeling that Easter just won't be quite the same in Oklahoma! And Damn it....this "grown up" stuff ain't what it's cracked up to be, is it?!

i was just pining after the good old days myself, when my mom would go all out on easter. i haven't had a basket in almost a decade now and i miss it!
ReplyDeleteThe basket does rock! I gave the boys their basket early after school to enjoy for long holiday weekend. The oldest actually said, "I thought you were going to hide it" Wow life without me will be rough on him!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are still her mother and she is still your daughter. That's really cool, I think.
ReplyDeleteNo, but I will save it for you.
ReplyDeleteIf you want delivery call Pizza Hut.
Only parents of addicts "get it"
Send me my Easter basket. I'm laffin too!
ReplyDeleteAwww, I know what that would mean to me.
ReplyDeleteI think she misses you... Awwww.
ReplyDeleteOMG, that made me laugh out loud and brought tears to my eyes instantly!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!

Tell her the easter bunny got lost following her and no one has seen him sense!!
ReplyDeleteYou better not get her one!! she is too grown up for your rules and she is too grown up for your goods too. We mommies have good points and i wouldn't give her anything, tell her you spent her easter basket money replacing her sister's clothes she took.
Uh..I would say..how about I send it when I get my Mother's Day card...;)
ReplyDeleteWell, that cuts thru the chaff. NO MATTER WHAT I DO TO YOU, I'll be wanting my Easter Basket.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Unapologetic desires.
I really hope you can have a good Easter. ~Mary
WOOT !! I'm with Mom and Dad LOL
ReplyDeleteThat totally cracked me up! I'm so glad you can find the humor in these things! *huge hugs*
ReplyDeleteI'd say someone is missing you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great text to receive.

Even though I am supposedly an adult, I could go for a peep and some cadbury eggs right about now myself:)
ReplyDeleteSounds familiar - my daughter wants hers too :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is fantastically hysterical!!!
ReplyDeleteNot quite as funny: the voicemail I got from aimless, unemployed stepson #1 recently, telling me what a GREAT idea he had - that he move back into MY basement!! He said it'd be REALLY COOL!!!! I still laugh to myself just thinking of it!! ::shakes head::
How is it that we grew up with so much more sense & maturity?? And we didn't have any of this "Technology" that they can't live without. Geeze.
Well, I hope the Easter Bunny brings YOU a big, fat candy basket and that Abbie gets a clue :)
Happy Easter! xo
Ha!
ReplyDeleteYup. I can totally see why that would tickle your funny bone. LOL
Hope you had a great Easter.
XOXO
oh lisa- that kid !! I am speechless.......what a dag !
ReplyDeleteSnicker! Mine came by to visit.... and one of her first questions was "did the Easter bunny come?"
ReplyDeleteI think your daughter is having some grand realizations, and yes, missing you!
I loved "Dad and Mom's" suggested response - only I'd have been tempted to say "No, we ate it for you!"
Because I do love me some chocolate! :)
But I probably wouldn't have had the heart to say that.
