Welcome to the Adams Household. A Benign Dictatorship Since 1994.

"The answer is no."

"But why can't I get a new game for the Game Cube?"

"Because I said so."

"But I have enough money from cutting the lawn."

"No."

"But why not?"

"Because you just got a new one 2 weeks ago. And because I said so."

"Arrrgh."

Sounds of slumping against the back seat.

"Hmmmph."

"But why ca....."

"BECAUSE I SAID SO."

"Mom!"

"I'm not your mother."

Silence.

"What?"

"I'm not your mother. I'm your benign dictator for the next 8 years. Please fasten your seat belt and put your tray in an upright and locked position. Keep your hands inside the ride at all times. There are no refunds. Enjoy your stay at Adams Dictatorship. We appreciate your patronage."

Silence.

"Mom, you're weird."

Silence.

"Mom?"

Curious, a little concerned.

I turn around, holding my pinky to the side of my mouth, and say, "Call me Imelda. BWAHAAHAAHAAHAA."

And I wonder why my son sometimes has trouble making friends.

Hi Alicia,

Thanks so much for your post on my blog a couple of days ago about my e-book, Brick by Brick. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :-)

"Long may your lum reek" ~ I've not heard that for years!! LOL!!
