Maggie: You bought me a ceiling fan for my birthday?
Philomena: Welcome to the age where mom starts buying practical gifts.
Me: 😅 this is what it’s like to have me as a mom 😆
Maggie: Why doesn't my room already have a ceiling fan?
Me: Well...there was a ceiling fan, but we removed the blades when you had a loft bed. Then I thought my ceiling fan was broken so I tried to move your ceiling fan to my bedroom. I dropped your ceiling fan and broke it. Then I tried to put in your ceiling light and it was always on; we couldn't turn it off. So then I hired an electrician to install my new ceiling fan and your ceiling light. There probably wasn't anything wrong with my ceiling fan, but I didn't realize what I was doing wrong so here we are. Then you went back to a bed on the floor and started using an oscillating fan. So I decided to get you a ceiling fan for your birthday.
Maggie: Oh
My thought: that was probably longer of an answer than she expected -- haha
Maggie chose IHOP for her bday dinner with family. I offered to buy Maggie a Nothing Bundt Cake but she said no. Then we went to HyVee and she didn't like any of their cakes. She wanted a cute marble cake. So we bought ingredients and she asked me to put a mermaid's tail on it. Not too bad for an amateur!
