Well, it's been awhile. I think of this blog often. How I should be posting, but has life been crazy busy. Let's see, I've been preparing for the grand opening of my very own in home daycare business!! And...........oh wait, that's pretty much it. Yep, busy girl right here!
Today I was standing at the kitchen sink doing dishes (this chic does not own a dishwasher....yet) and I was running kiddisms through my head. Or maybe it's mommyisms. I can't really be sure it's either, but any who........
Addie is feeling a little under the weather. She blames it on seeing the dentist yesterday. Pretty sure they didn't give her a sore throat, but I am 100% convinced she is my child now. I'd blame the dentist too! She's one lucky girl. I stopped right in the middle of all the dish doing fun just to tuck her into a recliner & get her new favorite show going (Ruby Gloom for those interested). She was rocking herself & heard the chair making a noise. "Mom, what's that noise coming from?"
OK, ladies & gents, we all know how simple this answer could be, right? BUT why is it every time our children ask a question, it's like they asked us to solve a mathematical equation. "Mom, what's that noise coming from?" sounded like this, "Mom, what is x squared over y double s c equal?" (is that a real equation?) because my answer was this: Um, it's that thingy inside that thingy making that noise & yes, I left the room embarrassed by my answer. Why was it so hard to come up with the words spring & recliner? Beats me!
However, the best ones have to be the 20 questions game:
A: Mom, look at that bird!
Me: Yep, that's a cardinal. Pretty, huh?
A: Yes! It's red! Why is it red?
Me: Well, all cardinals are red. Oh, except for the females, the girl birds, they aren't red red like the male, boy birds.
A: Why?
Me: Well, that's just how cardinals are. They're just red.
A: Why?
Me: I don't really know. They've just always been that way.
A: Why?
Me: I don't know Addie. I'm not a scientist. I haven't studied birds.
A: Oh!!
She actually beats me to the punch now. "Because you're not a scientist?" Yep, that's it. I am not a scientist. You win!
