One of my favorite childhood memories with mom is when she came home from work after a 24 hour shift or longer and she would bring home Alden and I “Sea Monkeys” when we were young kids a few times a year.
Mom would come home after a very long work day with these little fish kits and she would always smile when she saw Alden and I get really excited that she brought home “Sea Monkeys” for us.
Calum (Jimmy and my best friends kid) is 3 years old now and he has recently become obsessed with everything related to sea creatures recently. Which immediately brought me back to this special part of my childhood, (my mom buying us Sea Monkeys after work on occasion).
So, Jimmy and I will be getting Calum “Sea Monkeys” for Christmas this year. I hope Calum thinks they are as cool as I thought they were when I was a little kid.
I love you so much mom. Thanks for always trying to make special memories with Alden and I when we were kids, no matter how tired you were. You have always been a thoughtful and loving mom.
