mothers this mother's day is our old friend, tina fey >> hello, thank you, che
I hope this email finds you well >> how have you been holding up
during this quarantine >> michael, I can only say, so far, so good
like so many of us, I'm trying to focus on the positive, this is a historic time, an
opportunity to be still and focus on what really matters in life
for example, I'm getting to spend so much more time with my passwords.
Apple I.D., hulu, nintendo, slack, zoom, google hangouts, spectrum cable, amazon, that
other stupid amazon app for watching things. All my passwords are a little
bit different and beautiful in their own way. And I see that now
also, my kids are here >> oh. >> and, yes, it's stressful to
be in new york sometimes I miss going to the grocery store.
But there are so many great hacks you can get off the internet
for example, did you know that if you're baking cookies and you don't have any flour, you can
just go to bed yeah, you can all just shut your mouths and go to bed
I'm focusing on the many beautiful lessons I've learned do you know what the phrase --
[ speaking foreign language means in latin >> nope.
>> it doesn't mean anything. I don't know latin, che. But now I'm in charge of
teaching it to my kid. I've been making up gibberish and saying that's latin.
I'm sorry, school. >> yeah. >> and it's okay to try to find
little moments of levity and joy. When the news is too much and I
need to laugh, I like to think about three months ago when everyone was so worried about
meghan markle and prince harry oh, my god you're free, guys.
No one cares who pays for your vancouver security detail anymore.
I can't even remember what they look like. I think they both have eyes.
Anyway, che, I wanted to offer a special prayer for mothers everywhere this mother's day
this mother's day, give us the grace to accept the things that cannot be changed, like the
sheets I can't do it anymore, che I've changed them eight times
already. Shouldn't they just be clean forever now?
Give us the courage to change the things we can. Like our zoom background, from a
tropical beach to a picture of governor cuomo holding you like a baby
you can hit his nipple ring like a rattle to a picture of my foot, two
months ago when it still looked human. Mothers, may you take this
journey one day at a time. This pandemic is far from over and there will be many emotional
ups and downs. Ride those waves, mothers. Ride them like a day drunk
boomer at a currently open georgia water park #ad.
#catchthefun may we be kind to ourselves. Remember, the only way out of a
feeling is through it. Don't be afraid to be emotional in front of your kids.
These are crying times let them see you open mouth chew cold spaghetti while you scream
words like, moron, dunning-kruger syndrome, look it up, he definitely has it, at the
news program of your choice. And if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, repeat these words
to yourself. Repeat after me, che I am a good mother
>> I am a good mother. >> my children know they're loved.
>> my children have hopefully all been prevented >> it's not a blue state
bailout, you turkey face >> it is not a blue state bailout, you all white meat
turkey >> in this moment, I am okay >> in this moment, I am okay
>> I smell fine. >> when you say it like that, it makes me feel like you don't,
so - >> lastly, lord, and most importantly, I couldn't write
this last part, because I can't focus anymore, che >> tina fey, everybody
>> thank you, nurses thank you, doctors thank you, doormen
