Kid-isms abound…
How you know your lazy gene lives on, even in your always helpful kindergartener:
My 5-year-old daughter, after a noodle dropped to the floor from the pasta we were making:
“Leave it. That can be for the mouse.”
I looked at her, puzzled.
“Um, what mouse?” I asked.
“Well, I KNOW we don’t have a mouse, but we might ONE day and that can be HIS.”
How you know your 10-year-old is still very naive and innocent (and can I get an AMEN for that!):
After explaining that he can’t watch certain movies or shows because they’re rated R, which means not for kids.
“Does that mean they have lots of scary blood and guts stuff?” He inquired.
“Well, sometimes. But, in this case, this movie has more adult content in it. Stuff that really just grown-ups understand.”
(Short pause…I can see his wheels turning…suddenly I fear the next question will involve something about the dreaded S-E-X…)
“Oh, I get it,” he replied knowingly. “It must be about the economy.”
WHEW!
This is SOOOO not another "mommy blog." Ok, well maybe it is. But, what else would you expect from a career writer, who has lived the life of a SAHM and now is juggling her way back into part-time work again while raising two wild kids with her wise-cracking husband and a large stinky labrador retriever? In short, I'm a walking cliche--a suburban mommy blogger just trying to keep my crazy yet wonderful life in balance and learning to look at the world through funny glasses with my tongue sticking out. Pfffftttt!
