Best Mom Ever.






i just feel like the world should know that Brooke Harrison has the greatest mom to ever grace this earth. She puts up with my snotty attitude and makes me laugh every day. When did she get so funny? I don't ever remember this being the case: This morning I was eating my butterscotch pudding (prepared by none other than the woman herself) and she says to me, "I think this is the best pudding I've ever made! Do you know what makes it so good?" I replied, "I donno mom. Is it made with love?" and she gives her little girlish giggle, "well yes, but i made it with skim milk!" This is where i become completely confused. How could skim milk make anything better?! and she adds "and then i put a little half and half in! Thickest, creamiest pudding ever!" ha so much for being healthy. I continue eating the fat filled delicacy, and mom strides into the room hands in the air, "did no one notice that i am wearing the same clothes as yesterday?!" (keep in mind that i arose from my darkened room about ten minutes earlier, and it is now 9:15 in the morning.) i just laughed and asked her, "when did you get so funny?" to which she retorts, "oh please!" (which she got from me by the way, i say it constantly.) and i say "i think you gleaned it from your children as they matured!" she scoffs, "they gleaned it from me! sometimes i think mothers are invisible to children from the mouth down." and then promptly covers her mouth and discontinues talking. (see picture above) i ran to the camera and chortled i have to blog this! her mouth immediately becomes uncovered and she says in a sweet pleading voice, "can't we just have a private blog, Brooke? one that you write and i am the only one allowed to read?" obviously i won that argument.
and yesterday! we're watching pride and prejudice, (watching romantic films has become a daily occurrence with me.) and mother, pretending to cry and talking in her best British accent ever precedes to wrap her body around me and cry out "you are so much more romantic than I'll ever be!"
and in the car i vividly remember her saying, "oh no. Trent is going to FREAK."
BEST MOM EVER.
