Squishy Burrito? What?!? So, I was walking the streets of Denver with a good friend, and a boy (later to be known as Cster). I decide we should eat. "What do you feel like?" my good friend ask me. "A squishy burrito" answers Cster squishing my muscleless arm.
Jump forward a few years. The good friend is now my sister-in-law and Cster and I enjoy the mountains walking to our mailbox with our 4 children Mster, Lster and Kster, and Nikster.
I remember when my big girls were young and Otto and I were students. I always loved Mother's Day and so I was looking forward to it and when I opened my presents, all there was for me were a dead plant and a tube of toothpaste. When I asked Otto what he had really gotten me, he looked at me blankly and told me that I had just opened everything and that the girls had picked them out themselves (they were 1 and 2 at the time). After a . . . ummm. . . discussion, we agreed that from then on, even though he would tell the kiddies that they could pick out my Mother's Day gifts, he would give them some guidance and get me something else on top of their gifts. I will never forget the Mother's Day that all I got was a dead plant and a tube of toothpaste, and I think that my hubby will also never forget it!
