Happy 15th Birthday, Maggie!





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!
