It's snowing like nobody's business

A few days ago the Washington Post pushed this post https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2021/07/22/carolyn-hax-mom-talked-down-dog-ownership/ and since I love advice columns, I had to follow the link. It revealed this fabulous bit of wisdom:

Re: Mothers Over-Mothering: My older brother got so tired of our mom’s heartfelt “Be. Careful!!" every time he left the house that our mutual farewell is now “Drive fast! Aim for trees!”

Today was not a good day for that expression as the poor husband nearly spun out of control while trying to leave his work's parking garage. And the roads were so poor it took him twice as long to get home as it normally does. Happily he's home safe & sound and I'm keeping him inside for the rest of the night.

Yikes on the driving.

I usually say "Be safe" to KJ when he leaves the house. I just told him it was just a way of saying I love you, so I think he's okay with it.

That's what I mean when I say it to my husband and it is my usual farewell to him.

This became our farewell during Covid. Be safe take care. My kids roll their eyes every time I say it to them.
