It’s high time we had a little chat about our family dynamics. Let’s face it, we’re a bit unconventional, and we tend to overshare with people outside our circle. While we might think we’re just like everyone else, it seems that most families have taught their kids about appropriate topics and language for public settings. A recent experience at a restaurant made me realize this. When one of you enthusiastically exclaimed, “It’s my turn to hold the vibrator!” after grabbing the pager from me, I understood that we needed to address this.
Of course, I hope you don’t really know what a vibrator is yet, and I’m sure you didn’t mean any harm. You simply enjoy the sensation of the device and wanted your fair share. This incident also leads me to believe that pagers should no longer be tucked under our clothing. Who knows where they’ve been?
Let’s work on lowering our voices in public. It would be incredibly helpful if we could refrain from shouting or sharing things we don’t fully understand. That way, your mother won’t feel the urge to hide her face in embarrassment.
Now, I understand the excitement that comes with a new toothbrush, especially since I’m always reminding you to take care of your tiny teeth. However, if I need to dash to the restroom after purchasing them, it’s not appropriate to rip them out and start brushing at the water fountain. Following instructions is always the best policy.
Just the other day, I chuckled when you referred to needing a “Trump dump” before heading off to the bathroom. While it was amusing, I meant it when I said we shouldn’t repeat that kind of phrase, especially during dinner with guests. Let’s keep certain things private, so we don’t scare off potential friends.
I know it was surprising for you to walk in on me during a vulnerable moment last year while I was dealing with a pregnancy test. I explained everything to you, and frankly, it’s a topic we should avoid discussing from now on. The confusion you saw in my tears was nothing compared to what I felt that day. As for the incident involving your father on the couch, where he was visibly uncomfortable after a procedure, I tried to explain it in a way that made sense. However, your interpretation—sharing that he had “his balls chopped off”—has led to some misunderstandings. Please consult us before sharing details about private matters in a public setting.
While I appreciate your creative outlet of hissing when you’re upset with each other, let’s agree that it’s not suitable to direct that at adults, especially teachers.
As you’re growing older, it’s time we put a stop to using our family quirks as an excuse for inappropriate comments. Let’s strive to be respectful and keep our private matters within the confines of our home. By doing so, we might find ourselves invited to more events, which could be just as entertaining as the embarrassment you cause me in public. Plus, if I don’t have to deal with as much public humiliation, I might spend less on stress-relief beverages.
Let’s embrace our fun side while keeping it contained. We can do this.
With love,
Mom
