We were fooling around with Chatgpt and at my request, Kimo wrote a prompt; to make a Strange Planet-style cartoon for Mother's Day. He gave it two prompts that reflect my mothering style.
One is that I openly admit to having been overprotective about the kids swimming in the ocean. Until they were strong pool swimmers, I never let them go out deep in the ocean waves and was constantly having to rein them in. This did scar the kids a little bit, but they are alive to tell that tale.
And then, I have made a conscious effort to tell our family stories over and over again, both the kids' stories and stories from Tom and I and our childhood. I do this because my parents didn't and I know very few stories from their youth!

Reminds me the first joke Kimo ever told when he was less than two years old. A hard plastic cup was on the floor and Kimo was having fun putting his foot inside it. Tom and I laughed at him doing that and I said, "Kimo, why are you putting your foot in that cup?" All Kimo said was, "Shoe!"
