The Bus from Xcaret

Dear Miya,

It is very sweet that you believe that the looks passing between Mommy and Daddy were because we are in love.  However, the looks were actually Mommy and Daddy conveying telepathic messages to one another passing judgement on the parents who were letting their toddler roam the aisle of the bus.  Being judgemental was a bad idea on Mommy and Daddy's part, as it resulted in karma causing Rhys to believe that the "let's see how loud I can scream" game  was a hilarious way to pass the time. 


Love,

Mommy





Dear Rhys,


I acted the part of the embarrassed parent and shushed and scolded you as you played the "let's see how loud I can scream" game on the bus back to the resort from Xcaret.  However, since you started the shrieks immediately after the bus driver missed our stop and then insisted on dropping everyone else off before taking us back, I was inwardly applauding your disruptions.  I'm also awarding you bonus points because your shrieks woke the couple in front of us who thought reclining their chairs all the way despite knowing we had children on our laps was a good idea.  It worked out for you this time, but in future, screaming as loud as you can in public is not funny.

Love,

Mommy

Baby

Dear Rhys,

I'm not sure what Daddy has been teaching you when I'm at work, but I'm starting to have some concerns.  Please stop yelling "baby" and waving at all the pretty girls who pass by our cabana.

Love,
Mommy
