dear emily,
i used to think the best preparation to being a good mother was
a math/science degree or even an elementary education one. a
nursing degree would have helped tremendously, too!
but now, after watching the mom scene from 'ocean's twelve', i've
changed my mind.
imagine if before having those little urchins, you had been a CIA
agent or a county sheriff? before asking, "who took a bite out of
your dad's birthday cake?", you would already know the culprit!
you could read all their 'tells' and know how to call the bluffs.
say one of the rugrats decides he doesn't want to pick up his toys
or go to bed, you could say in your robert deniro voice, "how
would you like me to haul your skinny little self down to the
county jail?"
think how easy it would be to get their finger prints? they are all
over the place.
love,
lea
ps. "evil men do not understand justice; but those who seek the
Lord understand it fully." proverbs 28:5
