Trinkets of Thought

I always knew my mother was brilliant.  But recently, she came up with an idea of which the world needs to know.

As many of you know, Little Caesar’s has made a comeback since the days of “Pizza Pizza” where the BOGO was a deal heard round the world and fed hungry, large families from sea to shining sea.  These days, their Hot-And-Ready pizzas are a steal at just five bucks.  So…here’s my mom’s idea:  First, you buy a LC’s cheese pizza & bring it home.  Next, add whatever you want (possibilities are endless!  I added fresh basil, feta cheese, and tomatoes except on 2 pieces for Little One).  Stick it back in your oven and bake it until it gets hot again.  Voila!  A gourmet pizza in less than 15 minutes start to finish for $5 AND absolutely NO EFFORT.  And the very BEST aspect?…NO CLEAN UP!  Can’t beat it!  (Pardon the fact that I browned it a little too much… Little boy decided to become needy at the exact moment the pizza was done.)

Now, feel free to agree with me…my mother is a genius.

If you give a child a phone, he’ll smile for your pictures.

If he smiles for the pictures,you’ll have a happy momma.

The momma will be happy and the baby happy, unless you take it away… So you’ll let him play with it for a little longer.

When he looks at all the buttons, he’ll push them and call someone from your contact list.

When he calls someone from your contact list, you’ll stumble through an explanation that you didn’t mean to call them—your son did the dialing. 

And when you try to explain, they’ll think you’re an idiot. Which will only confirm reality.

When you hang up the phone, your child will look longingly for the device you now hold in your hand.

And chances are if you give the child the phone again, he will smile for your pictures.
