Montse tagged me for the 5 Life Classes to Fix My Sorry Existence meme. I am to devise a list of 5-10 courses I would take to fix my life. Here goes:
1. How to Apply Makeup class. That way I won’t have to look like I have two black eyes every time I apply it.
2. How Not to Burn Potatoes class. Because I’m especially talented at burning pots.
3. Silent Movie Acting classes. So every time I open my mouth to scream at my kids they’ll hear nothing. Second thoughts, I think they do hear nothing.
4. How To Yodle classes. I’m not sure why.
5. How Not to be in Denial 101. I don’t need classes because my existence is not a sorry one, therefore there’s nothing to fix.
Imagine you’re watching a relay and I’m one of the participants. Well, I’m the runner that takes the baton and runs off to the finish line. Which is good, but not if I happened to skip the other runners in my team by not passing on the baton. That’s me with memes. Always flattered when I’m chosen, but the first to put an end to the show. Sad I know. It’s called the 5th child syndrome.

I love your list.
This is why you need yodeling. Any time your kids start talking and show a little attitude, just pretend you hear “yodel, yodel, yodel” when their lips start moving.
Way better on the mental health.
