A few Mondays ago I took our oldest to school and when I got back Mamacita Linda realized she forgot to put Brianna’s apron in her bag.  It’s a weekly thing: you send the apron to school on Mondays and on Fridays it comes back for a trip to the laundry.

Sarcasm is always a bad idea, even when in good nature.

Mamacita Linda: “Oh No!!! I forgot to put Brianna’s apron in her bag.”
Me: “Hmmm, let’s think of a way this could possibly be MY fault.”
Mamacita Linda: “Well that’s easy: you should have reminded me. See, it IS all your fault!!!”

At which point I decide silence is the greater virtue.

I only get dressed up for board meetings.
