ORLANDO—In a shocking turn of events, a 31-year-old mom of two shared pictures from her family’s annual pumpkin patch visit on Facebook and, even though she included a side-by-side comparison photo from their 2017 pumpkin patch visit, she concluded that the relentless march of time was proceeding at exactly the right pace.
In addition to the requisite pictures of her children seated in a red wagon, the post included images of a slightly menacing scarecrow haphazardly stuffed with straw, some pumpkins, and a closeup of a gourd on the ground that was supposed to be artsy, but just looked out of focus.
“Look how little they were!” her post read, seemingly oblivious to the fact that her children were dressed in jeans and flannel shirts on a 90-degree October afternoon in Florida.
“But, that being said,” she continued. “Parenting young children is pretty miserable, right? I mean, I used to have a life, but now it’s just this (shrug emoji). So, I am happy to report that time is passing at the perfect speed. Jackson can finally use the bathroom somewhat reliably on his own which has really opened new doors for me. I’m thinking about going to the gym again. Maybe by 2027 at the latest.”
At press time, she had received 147 reactions, 146 “wows” and one like from her college classmate Steve because he believes all the reactions other than like are too corporate.
“Facebook used to be pure, but now it’s a hyper-capitalistic mess,” Steve said for some reason when asked about something entirely different.
Kudos to Mom for keeping it real and not being afraid to shock the world! Your courage is truly inspirational.
