Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for May 28, 2023

Looks like there’s no place around the house Val. Where they can’t find you.

“You can run but you can’t hide.”

Every day, some mother somewhere just up and … walks away.

Mom’s deserve more than just one day a year to relax.

A mom? Relax? Don’t be so foolish. lol

You can run, but you can’t hide, Val.

Don’t you know already that if you want to be left alone you JUMP INTO THE CAR AND GO AWAY FOR A FEW HOURS?

Nice to be needed…..

Sorry Val no place for you to hide. Never thought of hiding from my two kids.

Grandma says, their making me miss my nap. Come down and see what they want.

My mother taught me the perfect solution to that problem… “If you have enough energy and time to keep yelling Mom? Mom?, you have enough energy and time to clean your room and do your chores.” … Worked like a charm.

Then in 10 to 15 yrs you will be complaining “You never call anymore.”
