Mikey: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Me: Yes?
Mikey: Mom.� What is that?
Me: My drink.
Mikey: No, what is that in your glass?
Me: A straw?
Mikey: No, that’s a crazy straw.
Me: Yeah, well, I ran out my regular straws so I had to use this one.
Mikey: Mom, you shouldn’t be using that crazy straw.
Me: Why not? It works just fine.
Mikey: Mommm. Mom. Don’t you know you’re thirty-seven?
Andrea Howe says
hahaha! Now the question is, what sort of crazy drink are you drinking out of that crazy straw? Something crazy like a margarita? Or just lemonade?
Karen says
Lol. I love that you are drinking out of a ball canning jar!

This made me laugh on the morning after a night when my daughter was up sick in the night several times. So thanks. :-)
Joy says
Your kids make me laugh SO MUCH!
:)
Amy says
Just when you’re feeling young and spry … your kids will kindly remind you that you’re nothing of the sort … I love it! (the cuteness of it all, naturally – not that you’re OLD because, hello, that would mean I am as well… and we mustn’t have that! :)
Nichole says
I love stories about Mikey! That story is a great example of why I never want little kids to know it’s my birthday. They always want to know how old I am and they think nothing of telling everyone!
Meredith from Penelope Loves Lists says
So funny. And, whatever you’re drinking there looks great!
Jules says
My name is Jules, and I love drinking single serving Green Tea Peach Mango Crystal Light from wide mouth canning jars.
{hangs head in shame.}
Miss B. says
Lol, Mikey is right you know there’s an official age moratorium on crazy straw usage. Being a woman of the law you should have known that…Hah!
Piper says
LOL!! plus I love that you’re drinking out of a canning jar, so great! here’s to never acting our ages, right? :)
Licia says
So funny! Just a few days ago, my son just told me I was being “silly” because he saw me drinking out of a bendy straw. I guess children around the country agree on the issue of age limits for straw use.
erin says
Hahahaha, I’m laughing out loud at my desk. Thanks for brightening what would have been a dreary Friday morning! :)
Tammy says
So what IS the age limit for silly? I’m hoping never, although my kids are always reminding me, too, to “act my age.” The sad thing is that when I was a teen, I thought 40 was ancient.
fat mum slim says
Awwww. How sweet. x
Amanda says
I love this. It’s so cute! And I love that straw. Heck it doesn’t matter how old you are … you’re always a kid at heart! :) Crazy straws are the best.
