“You are attracted to a combination of the negative

attributes of your primary caretakers as a child”

Over breakfast with Daley Hake

Any of you who really know me……know that texting is an integral part of my life……it is the primary source of communication between my older children when they are out-and-about and my husband who is running his butt off most of the day:)   So this morning I am on my way to pick up Dylan from RCC….and I get the above text from “my Dale”.  I text him back, “That made my day, sorry:(” Which he then returns with, “I thought it was funny, cuz it explains some of my brother’s choices” (I’m thinking….and not yours?).  To which I respond, “Not funny….since I raised you….even when your dad was around”.  To which he texts back, “I didn’t mean it like that!  I love you:)”  To which I say, “I know…..but it is true”.  To which he says, “I thought you would find that funny.  I’m sorry, I feel really bad now”. To which I say, “You are such a firstborn child”.  ”Why”, he says.  This saga ends with me texting,  ”I’m not upset….it’s tragically funny…..and you…. worried…. is so first child…..silly boy!!”

Can you tell we are both firstborns?  Thank you Dale for making me laugh today…..I miss you……and thanks Don Miller for reminding me of my greatest fear…..THAT THEY WILL PICK SOMEONE LIKE ME!!!!!
