My mom is in town for two weeks and yesterday my mom, sister and I were sitting around and talking for a little bit. Since they were about to head to my cousin's baby's Christening and had a present for the baby's older sister as well, we got to talking about presents for the other siblings when a child is born.
Apparently when each of her children was born, my mom did something special with her other children as well- since they were about to have a lot less of her attention for a while!
When my brother Mike was born, my mom took my sister Sam to see the musical Annie.
When my mom told my sister that she was pregnant with me, she got really excited. Because my mom had promised her that if she had six kids that we could get a maid- just like the Brady Bunch! "We're getting an Alice!" my sister exclaimed.
Oops. My mom had forgotten about that promise. Mainly because she thought it was a really safe promise to make since she only planned on having four kids.
We did not get a maid. But we did get our first dishwasher!
Be careful what you promise, because you never know what's going to happen.
