The Best Example of Parenting
“Well I posted on the other thread about some terrible parenting I saw at my climbing gym, so here’s some great parenting I saw at my climbing gym. This happened a long time ago so the story details may be a bit off.
There was a gentleman who was at the climbing gym, maybe in his late 20s or early 30s. He stood in front of a video camera standing on a tripod and was talking into...

Fresh Kicks
I have other things that I should be spending money on but I promise I will come back for the both of you as soon as Journey’s and Sun Diego have my size.
Edit: Just kidding, kicks. The kids at Camp Kesem need the money much more than I need you. If you’re still around in six months, I promise I’ll swoop both of you up as soon as camp fundraising is over.
Camp Kesem
I am involved with a great program called Camp Kesem. It is a college student run organization that provides a free one-week camp for kids who have (or has had) a parent with cancer. Since the camp is 100% free for the kids, the counselors need to raise $500 each in order to provide camp activities for 80 participants.

Bring It
I have ten Monsters and two Rockstars in the fridge, four hundred index cards in my desk drawer, and at least fifteen frozen dinners in the freezer. I think I’m finally ready to take on my midterms.

Marriage
MOM: So your dad and I were fighting earlier this week.
ME: Really? (I was pretending, of course, because I talk to my dad on the phone every night and he kept me updated.)
MOM: Yeah, I was really mad at him for a few days so I kicked him out of our room.
ME: So what happened?
MOM: I realized that I can't sleep without him.
ME: Did you apologize then?
MOM: Kind of. On the third day, I had the hardest time falling asleep. So I called him.
ME: You called him? Where was he?
MOM: He was in the guest room (which is down the hall from their room).
ME: ... So you called him?
MOM: Yeah. And when he picked up, I just hung up. Then I called him again. When he picked up, I just said I called the wrong number and hung up again.
ME: HAHAHAHAHA. What the hell, mom?
MOM: I called him a third time but he didn't pick up. A minute later, he was standing at the bedroom door laughing at me. We're good again.
