"Mom of a Weird Kid" story time: Today I picked the kids up from school, and Else shouted "DAN I GOT YOU A PRESENT." Else is 6 and Dan is 14 in a few days, and as parents of kids with a large age gap can attest to, when they do have a "moment" it's pretty heartwarming. Else, with her little toothless grin beaming in the afternoon sunlight passes Dan a @cheezit bag. He says "Thanks Else" and I can see that this has genuinely surprised him in a good way- it has warmed his angsty pubescent teen heart 🖤. Suddenly the warmth leaves his face and I see confusion. "Oh, its opened" he says. He looks inside and looks at me with the dryest, most annoyed face ever. "It's rocks and leaves." Else burst a short laugh from the back. "BAHA I got it for YOU Dan!". He turns and buckles and says "Thanks Els." Because what else do you do when your sister is a weirdo and is excited to give you an empty Cheez-its bag full of rocks and dirt.🤦♀️🤦♀️#mykidisweird #feralkid #notsponsoredbutiwishitwas #cheezit (at Nokomis, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8LA1wQHBIW/?igshid=1tcykxpg3wa6e
