Basic Mom Week in Review - 12/18/16
/5 Things That Actually Happened This Week and the Lessons I Learned
1. So I grabbed our elf with the intention of moving him to a new location, but got distracted and totally forgot about him. Fast forward to a couple hours later when my 7-year-old gets home from school and asks: "Why is Gingersnap just laying there?"
Lesson: This situation calls for quick-thinking to come up with something like, "That's weird . . . Ummm . . . Uh . . . Maybe he . . . He probably got tired on his way to . . . somewhere else and just fell asleep."
2. This conversation with my 3-year-old at lunch time:
Me: What would you like for lunch?
3-Year-Old: Do we have pizza?
Me: No. Why would we have pizza?
3-Year-Old: Because I want some.
Lesson: This is a perfect example of how my 3-year-old believes the world works.
3. My 3-year-old was carrying around the "Santa Clause" DVD case, and when we asked what she was doing, she said she was "reading the script."
Lesson: Someone should tell her that that isn't a script. Also that she can't read.
4. This conversation about one of the teachers at my 3-year-old's preschool:
3-Year-Old: It's Miss Tania's birthday.
Me: Cool. How old is she?
3-Year-Old: I don't know. Maybe 7?
Lesson: Either my daughter is way off or I need to speak to the preschool director about child labor laws.
5. My 7-year-old spent breakfast-time teaching my 3-year-old how to use "hashtag" in conversation (complete with hand gesture).
Lesson: It's weird how this generation is trying to make catchphrases with hand gestures a thing. I'm just like:
