snippet of motherhood

My middle son spent his birthday at a special indoor water park (at a special overnight rate)...and he took the day off from school. He told me about the opportunity to go with our beloved caregiver's family...he said he was off for MLK day and I explained that it was celebrated Monday...but he made a great argument:

"My birthday is Martin Luther King Jr's birthday and so I think I should celebrate his birthday, and mine, on the actual day"

So I said yes - sometimes it's nice not to say no.
