Holiday for the Kids, 2014

So, the shopping cart is perfect “if your kids want to pretend they are homeless” (thank you, Jared, for that helpful observation). And the harmonica and piano are for parents who don’t mind living totally miserable lives. We all have differing thresholds, and I tried to cover a wide array of them here. What this really needs to be is an invitation to a 12-step program to wean oneself off of Minecraft. Marlo would go into convulsions if she couldn’t get her daily fix.

“Mom, come look at the house I built.”

“Why does that just look like a whole bunch of squares?”

“MOM!”
