We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all kiddos are created equal, that they are endowed by their Mama with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are reasonable Birthday Parties, within reason Sibling Rivalry and the pursuit of the newest iPad [I said pursuit, not automatically getting]. If you believe all of this, stand up and repeat after me…

I, state your name, [no, say your name…now start over]…

I, state your name, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of Mama of these Kiddos, and will to the best of my ability, shower them with love [without being a push over], cook dinner every night [errr try really, really hard to cook dinner most nights] and instill the needed skills to be responsible, upstanding citizens prior to kicking their grown butts out of Mama’s nest.

Yep, they are going to keep growing up, so let’s make sure they are ready for the great big word…let’s talk about independence!
