We are always joking around in my family so whenever we are waiting for big news to take that edge off we never give the good news right away. We always pretend it’s the opposite then it takes a couple of attempts to figure out is it really bad news or is it really good news.

It’s good because when it’s actually bad news you have a little hope that noo they will tell me the truth eventually and if it turns out to actually be bad you have almost numbed the shock a little bit.

O another little tradition that we have recently stopped because somehow we are all “adult adults” is because we travel a lot we “take” each others things right before the trip and you don’t realize till you get to where you are going that 😮 “our” favourite is perfume is gone. Others may call that “theft” we call that affection to be returned on another trip
