My life has turned into “A Christmas Story”
There are way worse movies this could have happened with.
I’m not sure my kids realize quite how much the two of them resemble the two brothers from A Christmas Story. My older one especially with his glasses and round cheeks.
This was the Christmas movie my family watched every year without fail growing up and now life imitates art. I’ve continued the tradition with my own kids as well.
I don’t particularly look like the mom, but our parenting styles are not that different. I don’t do the soap in the mouth, but I would easily tell a kid to show me how the piggies eat.
My kids’ personalities match Ralphie and Randy as well. If my “Ralphie” decided he wanted a BB gun, he would also get very creative trying to get it. And my “Randy” would also not be happy about not being able to put his arms down and is a picky eater as well.
(His diet has only gotten pickier since I wrote this!)
