Top Ten Things I’m Look Forward to Doing to My Children When They’re Older

(Because the anticipation of the sheer joy it will bring me is sometimes all that gets me through the day…)

10.  Playing recordings of their fights on full blast, at sunrise

9. Wearing really embarrassing outfits to go places with them when they're teenagers

8. Whipping out pictures of them as toddlers and preschoolers when they claim that no one dresses that poorly

7. Waking them up at 5 am because, “It's morning time.”

6. Going to their homes for a meal, saying "I hate it," and demanding Mac & Cheese

                                                     

5.  Pointing out their acne, asking if I can play connect the dots on their face

4.  Telling their friends that they can’t come to the phone because they’re pooing

3.  Standing outside of the shower, asking them things they can’t hear repeatedly, then walking away and saying I don’t  remember when they finally get out and ask me what I'm talking about

2.  Taking long car rides listening to the same song over and over, singing along very badly and loudly

1.  Chuckling to myself when they call to tell me that their own kids are crazy

                                                            
Most likely, I'll be good and I won’t do any of these things (although I’m tempted to start recording things…just in case), but knowing that I could is enough to make me chuckle. 

I also know that I won’t probably get the chance to because their own children will be covering all these annoying tasks, forcing me to recreate my own path as The Grandma. 

Cookies anyone??

You’ve gotta love karma. Ask my parents.
