The Flake Family

My dad cracks me up. I just called over to my parents house and he answered the phone. I heard a baby (my nephew) crying in the back ground and asked my dad,

"What are you doing?"

Him: "Feeding Daniel" (my sister had knee surgery yesterday and is still in the hospital....so my daddy-o is babysitting)

Me: "Oh...Is mom home?"

Him: "Hold on while I put the bottle back in his mouth." (crying stops and dad comes back on the phone...) "It's kind of hard to hold a baby and feed them a bottle and hold the phone at the same time."

Me: "I'll let you go...tell mom I called"

And I just had to chuckle! I wanted to say something like, "No it's not....", or "Try talking on the phone while breast feeding and eating your lunch at the same time."....or "SEE! Being a mom is hard!"

I love my dad, and I love Brandon, but for some reason, seeing them have a hard time taking care of kids just makes me feel good! :) It doesn't happen often, but when it does it usually has something to do with their inability to do 3+ things at the same time...or hold a phone between their shoulder and with ear!

....now don't ask me to drive a big truck or create a budget for a large company though....
