An open letter to Jacob
October 27th, 2006 by amylherzog
Son, I love you more than words can say. Nevertheless, here are ten things that I really wish you’d hurry up and learn.
- Triscuits are not an interior design element.
- Egg salad is not a fashion accessory.
- When you are so exhausted you can no longer walk, the solution is not ‘try to nurse, talk, and do acrobatics on the bed all at the same time’.
- The solution is to cuddle up with me and sleep.
- Water bottle caps are not food.
- The world will not end if you stop smearing the floor with yogurt.
- I neither desire nor require assistance when cleaning your ass.
- Nursing is, in fact, a stationary activity.
- This laptop does not belong to you.
- I am never trying to poison you.
Love,
Mom.

Hey,
Tried calling you last night, I don’t have your home number there.
Call me at the house
Love,
Andrew
