Happy (Belated) Mother’s Day!
Hello to all you mothers out there! I hope you had a lovely day, and that you will have a fantastic rest of the year.
For those mothers who went into motherhood knowing what to expect as far as how crazy little kids are … you’re nuts. For those mothers who went into motherhood somewhat blind and have been trying to recover while raising a good family, kudos.
When I was very little I was crazy about GI Joes (they’re still really cool). GI Joes themselves were obviously cool. The cartoon I watched about GI Joes was cool. Even commercials for GI Joes were cool! My brother’s GI Joe comic books? I never read them, but had I done that, undoubtedly cool.
It’s no surprise, then, that I wanted to create a cool atmosphere for playing with the GI Joes.
In some toy commercials the toys are shown outside in swampy areas, or in a lake, or in some woods. Well, what if you can’t play outside at that moment? You bring the woods and lake inside, DUH!
My mom, when she discovered the mess I had deliberately made, was not on board with the idea. She probably was a bit confused.
So, let’s hear it for the moms, who may sometimes think they are surrounded by tricksters … but really, we’re just goons. Calvin, take it away.
