 thinks for the memory reminder, made me think of that because my mom would smoke in the car.

when she was pregnant and i was five, i yelled at her to give me her cigarettes, and i tore them in half. i am surprised she let me do that at that age. i guess i am spoiled. i was looking out for her and the baby. 

i still yell at her.  
 It's so funny to see/smell/hear something and have such vivid recollection. Smoking in the car when it was raining was the worst. I'm glad my dad quit, he had a really bad cold or upper respiratory infection and coughed so much he couldn't for a few days and that was that. 

Good on you for looking out for her and the baby 🫂💜
