Moms seem to be "totally out of date" or "not knowing what they are talking about" but as we grow older we realize that our moms were probably right and we need to give them the credit they deserve.
Then I realize that there isn't enough credit to give because they were right majority of the time...all 32 years of it. So there will be bits and pieces of "Thank you Mom...I think."
Today, my mom called and panically asked if:
1) I had gotten a flu shot? Let me remind you that I am 32 years old. In my book, a "panic" call consists of telling me that something awful has happened to someone in the family, or close friends, or Natedogg died (that's going to be a terrible day). Not asking if I had gotten a flu shot because of the news reports that the flu has started a month earlier this year. I will let you in that I have had food poisoning and pink eye all in the last 10 days, the flu WILL be hitting me this year. My luck consists of things like this...not winning the lottery.
2) Has Ethan gotten a flu shot? Of course he has, he's an infant, he HAS to have the flu shot. Hell if we are going to have a feverish, projectile vomiting child with the flu! "They" always say that infants and the elderly need to get every vaccine, fruit, vegetable, sock, and bath (or whatever) that exists. Agreed...but the elderly...our resources can't go to someone else? Just kidding. I love old people. Wait...weird. I love inheritance, I mean Grandparents...awkward, ok, I need to go check on the baby.
I want to be THAT mom. Did YOU get your flu shot?
