DORA: Hi. Hola. Do you know how we can get Mommy a drink?

Long pause.

DORA: That’s right! The Wine Fridge. Can you say “Rioja”?

TALKING MONKEY:  Rioja!

TALKING SNAIL: Vino tinto!

TALKING WINE FRIDGE: Yum yum yum yum yum. Delicioso.

DORA: Si.  Yes. How will we open the bottle?

CORKSCREW WITH EYES: (singing) I’m the corkscrew, I’m the corkscrew, I’m the corkscrew, I’m the corkscrew, I’M THE CORKSCREW.

DORA: Great! The corkscrew opened the wine. Now Mommy can have a drink after overcoming today’s obstacles, such as: the Riddle of Why You Won’t Put on Pants, the Daycare Meltdown Puzzle, the Late for a Work Meeting Again Race, the Snapping at Daddy Dance, the Great Bedtime Battle and conquering Mt. Laundry.

CHORUS (all singing):

She did it!  She did it! She did it! Hooray!

Yeah she did it

Mommy made it through another day

Without having a nervous breakdown

She did it!

 

Roll credits.

 

DRINK: Anything from Spain. This includes cava. Qué viva España!

 

 

Celebrity Babies

30 Jan

It’s not just the coke-thin Hollywood moms that give Mommy a complex. The Celebri-tots look just as glam being carried by their nannies and dressed head to toe in Burberry Baby. Mommy shops off-the-sales-rack at H&M kids in a futile attempt to Keep Up with the Kardashi-babies.   At least she can take comfort knowing that those silver Tiffany spoon-fed babies have the worst names ever (“Son, we named you after a paint colour.”) and their careers will peak on the reality show My Mom was a Celebrity and now I’m In Rehab premiering summer 2032. Besides Mommy is on trend, since having a baby is “the hottest accessory of the season” according to In Style.  It’s just that sometimes she quietly wishes she also had a size zero figure and a Birkin bag to tote your diapers in.

DRINK:  Mommy’s Lemonade Stand.  3 oz fresh lemon juice, 2 oz rye, 2 oz simple syrup. Combine ingredients and serve over ice. Garnish with lemon zest.
