Well, I'm sure you're right.
I could learn a lot from you.
Tell me about that time you did it all on your own.
Take a moment and describe how you got all three of your daughters to every activity known to man on time, dressed properly, and prepared for anything.
Please, describe for me how they all maintain straight A's, are each in advanced level courses, and consistently become some of their teacher's favorite students.
Enthrall me with your tales of how they always say "yes" and "no", "please" and "thank you", "excuse me?" rather than "huh?", and always "I love you".
Don't leave out how they race to greet you at the door every evening when you arrive home from work.
And please share the recipes you created to make sure they're fed better than you have ever been.
Remind me how you work a full time job, which you started after giving up any chance of a career to stay home and raise them for thirteen years, and run a very small business in the few minutes you're not at their beckon call.
And, don't leave out how not once have you been able to turn to your left and say "your turn."
Yes, please tell me again how you're an expert on these three girls.
Wait....nevermind..... that was me. But, yeah, I'm sure you're right.
These poor girls and their successes.
Whatever shall they do?
