Cinco de Mayo Dinner

A while back, M asked me "You're doing taco salad for Cinco de Mayo dinner, right?"

Honestly, I hadn't thought about it. We always did something special for holidays like that when they were growing up... Corned beef on St. Patrick's Day, red food on Valentine's Day, Mexican food on the 5th of May... but I guess, with being an empty nester, I kind of forgot all about it.

So naturally I said "Yes, of course."

Anyway, we all got together and had tacos and taco salad and had a good time and nobody knew Mom had not planned the whole thing all along.

And that, my friends, is the trick to being a good mom.
