Not in This House!!

The "First lady" is a big Garth Brooks fan.  If she had her way I would be dressed up in a cowboy hat, wrangler jeans and headset mic.  Now I wouldn't say she is compulsive, there are no life size cardboard cutouts in the bedroom, or 24 x 7 Brooks music on the radio, but if she had the chance to met him that would reign pretty high on the bucket list.  Here's the story.  I picked up #1 and #2 from grandma's today and #1 started talking geography.  (For some reason the girls at 8 and 6 feel the need to travel out state.) #1 asked if I had been to Stillwater, and not the one in Oklahoma. How would she even know about that??? Well anyway I said, "Do you know who is from Oklahoma?" "Who?" she asked.  Garth Brooks I said.  I really don't know what response I was expecting but what I got was "Who's that?".  I guess there is an education coming to some young girl!

Thank you for being my Mother!!
