Put on your Hammer pants & Break it Down, Mom!

Yesterday afternoon my mom and I had our second great conversation in a row. I kept insisting that she had to “break it down” and instead of listening to me, she kept laughing and thinking about MC Hammer. To which I replied “Put on your Hammer Pants and Break it down, mom”. Hopefully, she’ll think of it next time she needs a solution. If not, at least it will make her laugh and hopefully get her thinking outside her tiny tiny box.

There may be hope for us after all!

The (blurry) photo is from my 30th Roller 80’s Disco party right after Pep proposed. I was really excited, not that you couldn’t tell by the size of my smile and my mom’s.

Even though she arrived very late to the party that started at 11pm (which she complained about), I forgave her because I know she’s crazy …and she came dressed in full 80’s regalia, blue eyeshadow, fingerless glove and all.

p.s. I registered that tag line so don’t even think about stealing it!
