HEY MOM!

(This is for all you Moms out there. We know what you go through!)   “HEY MOM!”   Hey Mom– Bring me two waters so I’m set? Where’s my underarmor? And my visor? Are my tights washed? My skates are dull. Hey Mom, can you call the advisor?   Hey Mom,  I wasn’t yelling at you. I didn’t mean to! You were yelling at me! You never let me do anything my friends do Hey Mom, would you chill, lighten up, just do!   Hey Mom, I don’t like the way this looks for the prom – I don’t like the color, how could you think this was me? I just can’t wear this, it’s this, it’s that it’s…Oh, Mom!?!    Hey Mom, I’ve been studying all morning getting knowledge. Can’t I go out, I’ll be back by ten? But, I know the material, gone over it again and again. Oh, Mom – I hate my life! I can hardly wait until college.   Hey Mom – But I did call and let you know Don’t you understand, I couldn’t call at that time. No, you can’t not let me go – it’s a great band Oh, Mom – I hate you! You never understand!   Hey, Mom, please don’t embarrass me at the game By screaming so loud, it’s just so tacky But, hey mom, I like that you’re over there in the stand Watching me play, you know that don’t you Mom, you understand?   Hey Mom, can you get me to the rink At 5 – I know you have to take off from work early? Thanks, Mom, I’m so sorry but the team has a special thing I have to be there, thanks Mom – I love you—really.   Hey, Mom, please when you pick me up at the dorm Don’t come inside. Just wait outside, call me on the cell I’ll be right down — it’s the norm. Don’t ring the bell!   Hey, Mom, I’ve read the classifieds There are no jobs, I can’t make all those calls. Well, OK, I guess  I can send that resume you made for me (sigh). OK, I’m lost, where’s the post office, down Lexington to what?   Hey Mom, well I’m bringing my friends by, Don’t let Dad embarrass me with his jokes, OK? I’ll just die if he’s silly again — you won’t let him do that? You’ll talk to him about that?   All right, Mom I’ll take that extra course. But I’ve just been going to school for months it never ends! Can’t I have a little vacation, I don’t know what’s worse Can’t I spend a little time with my friends?   You do like him, Mom? Oh, I hoped you would. Yes, I really do I am so glad you do too!   Hey Mom, can you take care of the kids this weekend? We’re going to Vermont with a friend. And Mom, the cats get kibble in morning and meat at night, We love you mom, sorry for the short notice, talk to you tonight.   Hey Mom, I’m sorry I can’t see you Mother’s Day. Are you all right, what will you be doing today? Going to a play – great – you know we love you in every way? Though we may not show it you’re always with us even when you’re away.

ROCK THE BLOCK IS GOIN ON

en Español

Downtown White Plains Business Improvement District is so excited to launch Rock the Block, their new signature summer concert series. Think: FREE Wednesday night live music (2nd Wednesday of each month through August), street closed to traffic and open instead to outdoor dining, family fun, yard games (badminton, ping pong or cornhole anyone?).

Eight restaurants will pull out all the stops with outdoor dining, expanding their serving area into the road bed of Mamaroneck Avenue between Maple Avenue and Post Road. The Arts Mobile will be there too, delivering fun to youth in attendance with an activity to craft handmade maracas! Don’t miss “La Playa,” our own answer to the Mexican Rivera. We’ve found a workaround to get you a palm tree and sand beach fix, right in the heart of White Plains. Just throw on some shades and pretend you’re on vacation, sans a flight!

Hope to see you there!

El Distrito de Mejora de Negocios del Centro de White Plains está muy emocionado de lanzar Rock the Block, su nueva serie de conciertos de verano distintiva. ¡Imagina: música en vivo GRATIS los miércoles por la noche (el segundo miércoles de cada mes hasta agosto), calles cerradas al tráfico y abiertas en su lugar para cenar al aire libre, diversión familiar, juegos de patio (¿alguien para jugar al bádminton, ping pong o cornhole?).

 

Ocho restaurantes sacarán toda la artillería con cenas al aire libre, expandiendo su área de servicio hacia el lecho de la carretera de la Avenida Mamaroneck entre la Avenida Maple y la Calle Post. El Arte Móvil también estará presente, entregando diversión a los jóvenes asistentes con una actividad para crear maracas artesanales. ¡No te pierdas “La Playa”, nuestra propia respuesta a la Riviera Mexicana! Hemos encontrado una solución para ofrecerte una dosis de palmeras y playa de arena, justo en el corazón de White Plains. ¡Solo ponte unas gafas de sol y finge que estás de vacaciones, sin necesidad de tomar un vuelo!

¡Esperamos verte allí!
