Not Impressed
Among those who participated in the #Hashtags section were Mike Birbiglia, a comedian, and actor. He has a long list of film credits under his belt, so it is understandable that his mother would be thrilled when he hit the front page of his hometown paper. But she was not. This, however, is not the case at all.
In this case, Mom appears to be unimpressed. Possibly, because she is accustomed to seeing her son’s name in publications other than The Cape Cod Times, she will reach out to her if he is featured in The New York Times or Forbes, both of which he has done!
It Will Make A WHAT?
As you grow older, you begin to realize that the majority of the things that you get worked up about are ultimately insignificant. Even the food you eat plays a role. It makes no difference if you have steak and fries for dinner or s’mores for dessert. In the end, everything is contained within a container.
The strategy used by this mother to keep her children quiet helps to put things into perspective for her. It causes you to pause and consider your life and the things for which you are grateful. At the very least, you will be able to eat. Let us not bemoan the fact that we’re having supper at this time.
