Just Because...

We love you! Thanks for making us laugh and keeping us on our toes.

Words

I work in Miss K's classroom everyone Wednesday for an hour. During this time, I'm ableto work with all of the kids as they work through my center. I also get to observe Miss K in a different environment. This particular time, Miss K was not in my group, but I could hear the conversation between the group. Next thing I know, I hear my sweet girl saying, "Yeah, you do have a stinky butt!"

Now, there are certain words which are not allowed in our home. I like to say they have been removed from the our family dictionary. These include, but are not limited to, stupid, shut-up and butt. I hate the word bu**, so hearing it from Miss K , in school no less, was a little shocking. Then she realized what she said, turned to look at me at mouthed "I'm sorry". I'm grateful she realized what she said, but we still had a little chat on the way home!

Got Thirst?

During our most recent grocery shopping trip, Miss K noticed a new type of hot cocoa with bunny shaped marshmallows. She asked if we could buy some and I told her no. I explained we had some at home and it was probably too hot outside to enjoy some cocoa.

As we walked passed this older couple in the store, she asked me if we could go home and have some beer, since she'd abandoned the hot cocoa idea. (What?!! Beer?!!) I asked her what she was talking about, she said "You know mommy, beer, it's my favorite!" Oh sorry, I must have forgot? "You know mommy, you and I drink beer together all of the time!" (This is news to me, maybe it is her "other mommy" she always talks about. And yes, by then the older couple was giving me "The look".) We had the talk about why we don't drink beer and then she said, "Mommy I think I forgot a word, I meant root beer!"
