My lovely sister Jenny is really good about half remembering family stories. Unfortunately, her post about Ethan was spot on. I love those Bad Mommy reminders. They really bring me down from my Perfect Parent Perch 
7:20pm. We just arrived home from an International Student Dinner. It’s a potluck done at the beginning of each semester at Rural U to introduce the incoming Int’l students to the community. They have a program, Int’l Neighbors, where you are paired with a student & meet once a month (or more) to learn more about their country, they learn more about the US, & work on conversational English. Last semester we had 3 students; 2 Int’l students, Ha from Vietnam, & Emi from Japan, & we had Kat, a local student paired with us from our church.
Anyhoodle, as we were leaving tonight, Ethan says, “Did you fill out one of those papers so we can add another student to our collection?”

Perfect Parent Perch, huh? Hmmmmm, let me think of other “great” stories to tell.
And what about “half remembering family stories”? What’s that about? I remember stories with full details … well, except for the the laundry chute incident.
