What a tale! Your description perfectly captures the shock, frustration, and ultimately the humor in handling a “grown-up child” husband! You really brought out the feeling of stepping into an unexpected disaster, where Mark’s lack of responsibility totally flipped the script. Sarah’s approach to teaching him a lesson with the chore chart and screen time rules was both hilarious and effective, bringing some well-deserved accountability.
The tension peaked nicely with the reveal of Mark’s mom arriving—it’s a classic, funny twist that’s satisfying as she backs Sarah up while Mark realizes he may have gone a step too far. And the addition of that last line, where Sarah holds onto the possibility of needing the “timeout corner” again, was a great finish.
CBS Mornings’ Gayle King, 69, makes debut as cover girl for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue
Once she decided to go through with the photoshoot she set a few ground rules. She wasn’t going to starve herself and she didn’t want any retouching of her photos, except for “a few dimples on her thighs.”
“My grandmother said to me [when I was little], ‘Mother nature was not as kind to you as she was to other little girls. Maybe you need to start wearing makeup.’ I just never saw myself this way.”
She added, “I know what I look like before I go into hair and makeup, so it’s hard for me to go from that to [the cover]. That’s something I have to process myself.”
King had nothing to worry about.
When she arrived at the photo shoot in Mexico, she said photographer Yu Tsai made her feel like “Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry all rolled into one.”
“I felt so comfortable and cared for that I didn’t even have time to feel self-conscious.”
“I never in a million years thought I would be standing here in a bathing suit for Sports Illustrated [Swimsuit], but here I am, which says to me that sometimes people can dream, God can dream, the universe can dream a bigger dream than you can ever think for yourself,” King told Sports
Illustrated. “I would have never thought this was possible. This was nowhere on my bucket list. So I’m thinking maybe it was a dream that I didn’t even know I wanted because now that I’m here, I want it bad.”
Gayle looks amazing! I think it’s wonderful how Sports Illustrated showcases all different ages, body types, and races in their issue. We’re not all the same, and everyone deserves to be represented.
