Motherhood portraits in Sydney: Cherish this Day Aug 29

“Mum, Dad said…”

When I hear this, well my Mummy radar kicks in.

“Mum, Dad said we can buy some red frogs(the lolly version) from the canteen”

“Really? Why are you telling me?

“He said to ask you first but he said it is ok!”

“What did he say exactly?”

“He said to ask you”

“So he didnt say it was ok”

Pause…..long pause

“Can we buy some red frogs…..PLLEEEASSEE!”

“Well….we are going out to lunch shortly. Which would you prefer….the lunch at your favourite cafe or the red frogs…”

Pause…”Lunch”. SIGH!

While they begged for red frogs, I snapped so I can cherish these Mummy moments forever.
