Liz, Actually, you did wait until about junior high. I remember going to parent night and every teacher said, “oh Liz is SOOOOOO wonderful, such a good student, so sweet….” after about the 4th one mentioned your sparkling personality, I said (and this is true) “I’m sorry, I think you have me mixed up with someone else’s mom, “I am LIZ’s CLARK MOM.” fortunately, this teached was a mom and she explained that some girls at that age are rude morning until night and some are able to go “part time” on the sweetness and the family get the short end. So true, but I actually was grateful you did not do the reverse. Then I was able to bask in all the complements and was able to gag your brothers if they were in earshot of their comments. Love mom

Mom,

I’m glad you have conveniently forgotten my brattiness! And btw, there was some seriously loud chewing going on at that table. Admit it!!! xoxo

I reread and notice I put “ate eveything WITH a complaint” I THINK I meant to put in “without” but then again…..

Liz, I thought I would wait to add my comments as you are slowly learning, mom’s words of wisdom are rarely viewed as such. As I recall, you were sweet and attentive at that age. you never spoke back, ate everything with a complaint,loved your brothers and went to bed without a fuss. See how convenient you can twist your memories as you age?? Actually you did not start as young as Riley, but you did manage to turn into a typical teen. As I recall, you did not eat dinner with us as “we chewed too loud.”

A very wise woman once said, “Everyone ends up in therapy at some point, I’m just giving my kids something to talk about.”

The more I live, the more I see the truth in this statement! From that moment on, the pressure was off!

Hi Sarah, I think I’m going to avoid helping my kids with their English homework for the next 16 years so that’s there is no possible chance they can put together 80,000+ words! ha.

As far as the video, you didn’t miss it! We just put it up last week. And we are off to Vegas this weekend and will be filming our second installment! I’ll be ready for my close-up after a couple of Don Julio shots.

And people say the sister thing all the time… I guess that’s what happens when you’ve been friends with someone since shoulder pads were in style! xoxo

Soooo funny! I can’t even list my crimes against my children; I’m sure there are too many to count. Let’s hope they don’t become writers.

And I just saw the video — is that new or have I just been really dumb and missed it all these times I’ve gone on your blog? Hysterical. You two play off each other so well. Are you sure you’re not actually sisters?
