“This year,” your newly inaugurated teen pleads, “can we please do something real? Like every normal family?"
The same thing happens every year. You plan and you plan, and in the end, you never do anything and never go anywhere, because you’re are the absolute nerdiest family on earth. But this year will be different. “This year,” your newly inaugurated teen pleads, “can we please do something real? Like every normal family? You know, rent an RV, take along a pop-up succah, travel somewhere far and exotic? Overnight, obviously.”
The nods and yesses are quick in coming. Everyone (okay, except you, the mother of the absolute nerdiest family. And your husband, who silently thinks, we say that every year) agrees. “Let’s.”
Your family makes plans. Really grand plans that you think are over-the-top ridiculous, so you tell the kids, “It’s not what you do, it’s who you do it with.” But your kids don’t listen, they’re off to tell all the neighbors’ kids about your really grand plans, and each of the neighbors’ kids goes home and complains that they’re the absolute nerdiest family on earth and never go anywhere.
You’re renting an RV; you are so perfectly cool.
