Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 05, 2010

I think that spring done sprung.

Believe me, Alice, this is nothing. It’ll get worse!

Alice your Mom wants to experience and understand your world…………… And it looks like the springy duck is alot of fun!

From Mom’s response, I would judge that the answer to Alice’s question would have to be a resounding “YES”. I suspect that Grandma taught Mom well.

If Mom lets go of that duck, Alice is gonna get thwacked into next week!

Alice: Are you trying to embarrass me? Mom: And loving it!

I am at that stage where I am my children’s embarrassment. It makes me proud.

I’ve done that! On a springy pony, with my nephew watching in horror….

OH, you must be Alice’s date. Would you like to see some pictures when she was younger?

absolutely hilarious!!

Yep, Alice, if you think this is embarassing you ain’t seen nothing yet… wait until you’re about 10 years older and then lookout….

I love the sense of whimsy always present in Alice’s mom.

Wasn’t it great! Just breathing embarrassed my kids. Now they are doing to their’s. Ah the circle of life:-}

this is the sort of parent that i plan to be.

(and i love that alice’s mom always seems to be having a little more fun than everyone else in the family.)

Why do you think we took all those naked baby pictures? Hee-hee!

She should’ve gone with the springy elephant.

Alice’s mom is a treasure.

Hee heee, reminds me of the springy horse that I spent many hours on as a wee thing ;P I’m afraid it didn’t help my thinking though…. I usually just fell asleep. :P

oh my I’m hickupping–it’s SO funny…and real! Gotta love Moms.

someone did that on our park’s springy lady-bug and broke it
