Special advice for Miss Dussia-Elliott (but it might help you, too)

Dear Miss Dussia-Elliott,
We heard from the Twitter that you were miserable (or “les miz” as Mama calls it). We’ve been pretty miserable at times too. Don’t even get us started on the time we had to LET GO OF THE TOY WE WERE PLAYING WITH IN A TIMELY FASHION. Here are a few things that cheer us up. Hope you can do at least one of these (the cotton candy one!).
xoxo,
Bert & Duke

Things Mean Moms Do

I’m not saying Mama’s mean, just that she does some mean things. Horrible, mean things like:

Not let me wear my princess dress and bonus tutu to school

And worst of all, going to Disney, my second favorite place on earth besides the Provincetown Library, without me.

You better be coming home with a lot of princess-themed items, Mama.
