Elmo Fell Down, A Little Help Please

I survived my parent's visit, barely. I had to take double doses of my blood pressure medicine to ensure survival, but hey, whatever it takes.

My parents visit coincided with my son's formal entry into the 'terrible twos.' He still is the best child in the world, but you can tell that he is beginning to develop a little bit of a will and an attitude at times. Or, should it be called atti-two-de.

Good thing you posted today, because your blog was about to fall victim to a "hostile posting" for lack of content over the past week as you work through all your intergenerational is-shews (got a tissue?) being stuck between child and parent. I sure hope the Vice President was on duty (and not in a secure, non-parent-in-law undisclosed location like the corner Starbucks) and able to deliver a couple of well-timed slaps to your face to snap you back to reality. News flash, we all have issues with our parents, but they aren't anything a little red wine and awkward conversation can't gloss over until the next visit rears its ugly head...we feel your pain, my brotha.

I was also pleased to hear what a precocious young man my godson has turned out to be (yes, indeed, Giant Jr. will one day inherit the mantle of the Hungary Man - but first he must be taught to use his powers only for good). Seeing as how, according to my calculations, he is not due to actually hit the twos until next year, it sounds like he is on the gifted and talented program for terrible twos. One of my kids got on the fasttrack for that as well. I got her off the track as quickly as she got on. So don't let him push you around, Giant. On the other hand, if I hear reports that my godson has been denied anything that he desires, regardless of the reason, a couple of my "associates" will be paying a visit to conduct a "counseling session".

Peace out. Word to your mutha.
