Parents Everywhere Can Relate

We are all busy.  And I might venture to say that those who have children are very busy.  And it's not a leap to say that those homes where both parents work and have children at home are very busy indeed.  So it was with total empathy and great hilarity that I happened to catch the last few minutes of the Emmy Awards on TV last Sunday night (because, you know, I was busy!).

The spot featured Will Ferrell who was there to present a couple of awards.  But he was decked out in shorts and a T-shirt and had his 3 sons along with him.

"Unfortunately Helen Mirren and Maggie Smith dropped out at the last second and they called me literally 45 minutes ago and I couldn't find child care, OK?" Ferrell told the audience. "We had a soccer game, there was a neighbor's birthday party, a nut allergy, I didn't have time to do my hair. It doesn't matter, it's great to be here."


Ferrell told his oldest boy, "No, you cannot play Angry Birds right now." But he was quick to realize what any level-headed modern parent understands: iPad = distraction. "Fine, take turns, 30-second turns."


So you see?  Life is hard everywhere no matter if you're a movie star or just a Joe Shmoe.  Kudos to the Emmy's for letting this spot aire.  Busy families everywhere can totally relate.

We at Stafford Family Realtors are busy, too, and are very thankful for it since it means that people are trusting us with the greatest investments of their lives.  If you need help with any real estate needs, call us.  We're never too busy for you.
