Home sweet home

OMG, y’all, we survived, Barely. #FerryOfDoom 🛳️

Picture this: I’m all hyped to be the Passenger Princess 👑, right? But NOPE. Just as I’m rolling up with dreams of sipping overpriced ferry drinks and lounging, my mom’s anxiety kicks in at level 1000. And when I say kicks in, I mean she’s basically on some Captain-level boat-loading expertise out of nowhere. She’s suddenly the world’s leading authority on how they loaded this ferry like it’s her side hustle. 😳

I didn’t know this woman had boat-loading experience, but hey, learning something new every day! #FunFactOfTheDay ⚓️

So, I’m like, “Okay cool, we’re on. Time to chill.” But then: YOU'RE DRIVING OFF THIS FERRY, I CAN’T DO IT. And boom, her anxiety does an encore performance. 🙃 I’m sitting there like, Really, Mom? Really? Remember in Turin when you were convinced my cat scratched you and you had sepsis and were planning your extended hospital stay? 🙄 Now, we’ve escalated to this ferry is going to pull a Titanic/Estonia situation, and no, we’re not even joking about that. Fine, I’ll drive. 👸🚗💔

So guess who’s not having any drinks on this ferry? Yup. Yours truly. Because I’m basically a ferry-riding, mother-appeasing angel with no fun allowed. 🛑🍷

And to top it off, as we’re finally rolling off the ferry and just when I thought I could maybe breathe, the customs people stop the car in front of us, bring out the dog 🐕🚨—I’m sweating bullets, Of course, I try to hand them my mom (no offense, Mom, but you were giving me a run for my money at this point) and they’re like, Nah, we’re good. 😂 Clearly, they’re experts in reading people, because they wanted NOTHING to do with her. So yeah, I’m still stuck with her🙏

And then the drive home... where we saw an entire zoo cross the street like it was a bad sequel of Jumanji. Thank you, animals, for the opportunity to slam on my brakes and remove some rust. But, hallelujah, we finally made it home. My poor car, she’s a trooper. She survived too.

Now I need a vacation from this vacation. Is there a special award for that? Because seriously, I deserve it. 🙌 let’s get real—Mom probably needs one too, but maybe on a separate continent, just a suggestionWeiterlesen
