I itch for my cell phone always.

But it is OK.

My tiny humans show me how to live, and the hum of the universe fills me up.

I play, and I play until I begin to wonder why we ever stopped playing in the first place.

You can do it too.

Say yes every time your child asks you to play.

Are you thinking maybe that I'm an idiot in diamond shoes?

You're right.

But you can still do this, you have time.

You know why?

Because you're not Rihanna and you're not a Muppet.

Your child does not think you're that interesting.

You only need 15 minutes.

My two- and four-year-old only ever want to play with me for about 15 minutes or so before they think to themselves they want to do something else.

It's an amazing 15 minutes, but it's 15 minutes.

If I'm not a ladybug or a piece of candy, I'm invisible after 15 minutes.

And my 13-year-old, if I can get a 13-year-old to talk to me for 15 minutes, I'm parent of the year.

Fifteen minutes is all you need.

I can totally pull off 15 minutes of uninterrupted time on my worst day.

Uninterrupted is the key.
