That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 05, 2019

“Mommy I don’t want to play slap the face anymore.”

“Let us take the sheep home. If things don’t work out, you can always make it Easter dinner.”

Oh, dear, can you hold it in until we get home?

Mom, why does the milkman say I look like him?

So, mother, what is the meaning of life???

mother and child who prepared for their portrait by applying way too much rouge…

“I saw this in the window and I just couldn’t resist it!” Thank you, Carol!

It’s curtains for you Ma, curtains, I tell ya.

Thank you. I bought them in that new shop; Scarlett’s.

No, I will not give you a treat because that is a lousy costume.

“Mama? Can I nurse now?”

A very young DJT learns from his Mom that pink is for girls, and orange is for boys – and History is changed forever.

Mommy, do I get any of the money you made from your season on “Teen Mom”?

“Son, don’t ever get a drink downstream from a goat. It’s never a good idea. “

I can lay down on the lawn and look like a pile of leaves.

Her latest “find” at the thrift shop…

“Aww.. please let go of my hands.. one more beep.. please?”

" Do I really have to grow up, Mommy? "

SON I predict that when I’m older, it will be acceptable for boys to wear buns too Mommy.

MOTHER: Don’t be ridiculous son. That will NEVER be acceptable.

“Because she’s retaining water. And that makes her cranky dear.”

“Because she’s jealous that I have the guts to wear whatever I damn well please.”

“I use it to disguise myself as a pile of dead leaves, dear. Daddy likes to jump on dead leaves. He’s a bit of a rake.”
