You Fail

My daughter is fond of telling me, "You fail." Humpf. . . I do not! When I didn't answer her email immediately she said, "You fail at answering my emails." And when I was late picking her up she said, "You fail at being on time." And when I burned the muffins, she said, "You fail at baking." So when she told me, "You fail at sending care packages," I said, "I do not!" Then she told me what other parents send their college students. "My friends get homemade cookies and brownies and potato chips and soda." Oh, okay, so maybe I do fail a little at sending care packages, because I did not send cookies, brownies, potato chips or soda. No, I sent her Lysol Wipes, vitamin C, green tea, whole-grain pretzels, natural granola bars, cheese, dried mangoes and two pairs of socks. In my defense, the granola bars had a layer of chocolate on them and the socks had cute little red hearts on them, with chubby little cupids . . . so . . . yeah . . . okay, I totally fail.........
