A few weeks ago, when Bossy was tackling her New Year’s resolution in time to break new ones, Bossy came across this Mother’s Day card from her daughter.
It must be four years old at least since Bossy is described as an Interior Decorator, but some things never change. And about that, do you think the other nine-year-olds described their mothers as wine drinkers?
And Bossy inadvertently cut off her favorite line, the last. Because apparently Bossy is a Go practice violin articulator.

November 6, 2009 at 10:23 amI’m reading down the list thinking your daughter is in denial about her mother being a famous blogger, then I realize the card pre-dates that chapter. Whew.

November 6, 2009 at 10:39 amDon’t forget “couch lover,” “Oprah watcher,” “chocolate eater,” and “obsessive talker.” Happy mother’s day, you old fat, chatty housewife.

November 6, 2009 at 10:50 amI have a three year old who asks me, each time right before he picks up a stray glass to take a sip, if “is there booze in this”?
I can’t wait until he can start writing…

November 6, 2009 at 12:29 pmYes, you must keep this forever – It will help Bossy’s Daughter and Bossy’s Son to explain Bossy to the nice people at the the home.

November 6, 2009 at 1:08 pmWell, other than the blonde hair and the jogging (insert “yoga” and “knitter” in there somewhere), that describes me to a “t.”

November 6, 2009 at 7:31 pmMy then eight-year-old son had to write a book about me for Mother’s Day and, not only did he write “Moms like an occasional glass of wine” with accompanying illustration of me on the couch with a GIANT glass of red wine, he also created a recipe for wine cake. Was a bit red-faced the next time I saw his teacher. Best gifts though, aren’t they?
bossy's friend martha's sis says
November 6, 2009 at 8:18 pmglad she didn’t put details like…. can’t just have one or two red wine every night drinker!
Tracy says
November 6, 2009 at 8:30 pmAt least you’re not referred to as “the wine-swilling aunt.” it’s a dubious distinction at best!

November 7, 2009 at 2:29 amPicking up my daughter at Hyatt Kids Camp at Kaanapali, the counselor says to me, “so you like white wine”. I’m all, “Whaaaaaattt??” He says, oh I asked if Chico (hometown listed on her reg sheet) was near the Napa Valley Wine Country and she said, “I don’t know but my mom drinks white wine.” She was 6.

BabyFavorite says
November 8, 2009 at 1:28 pmThat’s the cutest, most creative card ever.
P.S. I think you & I must be twins separated at birth. Fraternal twins, that is….because I am brunette, green eyed, and 30 lbs. overweight.
