It was a typical Saturday.
I was cleaning, the kiddos were crafting and going in and outside.
Then, my two girls presented me with this:
Call Me Maybe
They think I have a problem. It’s their way of saying, “Mom, you need an intervention!”.
My 23 year old son even taunts me. He lives two hours from me and when I see him and he’s leaving I say, “Call me maybe” and he sings, “Hey! I just met you and this is crazy!” I love it but now I wonder if he isn’t in on the girls’ intervention!
Go ahead, I triple dog dare you to listen to Call Me Maybe and not be singing it All. The. Time!
It’s what lead me to this:
The Divine Miss M and The Beauty Queen have had enough!
