I have a dream …

This morning my youngest daughter, Kaylee (8) managed to push her older sister, Ashley (10) down while attempting to knock a hat off of her head. Chaos ensued. As Jodie escorted them out the front door to school I heaved a big breath and thought to myself, “It’s going to be one of those days…”.

My dog inspired this after taking a bite out of Dr. Seuss’ post-mortem release of “What Pet Should I Get” of all things. Reading that book to my daughters takes on a whole new meaning now.

I eventually decided to title this one “The Shot” but in retrospect I could of easily named it “The real reason why parents don’t get their kids vaccinated”.
