"Flashback"

Yesterday night I had a very vivid flashback of my childhood. We were drinking apple juice with dinner. I hardly noticed but after I took a big gulp I sighed a large "ahh." What drew my attention to it was Lexie, copying me and very quickly Andrew as well. It made me laugh because I have a very distinct memory of my Mom doing this after a big swallow of Tab. Do you all remember Tab? I can still picture the pinkish reddish can; and I can certainly here my own Mothers "ahh.'' Jessica (my sister), and I would copy her at lunch doing the exaggerated "ahh's", of course we were drinking nasty milk. It is a memory I sort of forgot about, til yesterday when my own darlings were copying me. Isn't imitation the greatest form of flattery? Also what a great responsibility we have in raising these little rascals, nothing escapes there eyes or ears and at times it feels like a daunting responsibility. I sometimes find myself wondering if there isn't someone better for the task, then I trust the in the fact that these children are in my care for a reason and I remember how lucky I am; cause really they are great kids and I love 'em. So thanks to Andrew and Lexie for reminding me of this funny memory, and thanks to Mom. I bet you never thought two generations later, kids would be imitating your original "ahh."
