Looking back, years later, “that costume you made was not so bad“.

Never, ever, would there be words loved less if spoken.

Especially, said to a mom, by a post-teen girl.

Sigh.

Happiness.

Also, probably, looking back, on the topic of raising kids.

The same thing could be said.

“Even, as stressed out as you might have made us, you were not so bad.” We’d definitely go back – in a heart beat – and do it all over again (just we’d be better – and more patient.) Also, we’d definitely be thankful that we didn’t have to “remote-school” you like parents did in 2020 – because we are.
