Then THEY woke up. "I'm never going to school again!", "She's ugly!", "He's getting dressed in MY spot!", "I don't want THAT for breakfast, I want my Grandpa's pancakes!", "I don't care if all my teeth are going to fall out, I am NOT brushing my teeth!", "She licked my toothbrush!", "He stuck his tongue out at me!", & my favorite (which started World War III): "He's such a liar, he said he's going to tell everyone at school that I'm really a BOY!!! He is S-T-O-O-P-I-D!!!". I didn't correct her spelling of stupid. I didn't even go into my talk on how I despise name calling in this house. I know consistency is important when raising children, but some days you have
They ate. They brushed their teeth. We got in the car & buckled up. The Girl asked if she could join me at work tonight (I teach a family fitness class 2 evenings a week & she loves to participate). Before I could answer, The Boy piped up & told her, "she's not taking you, because you are S-T-O-O-P-I-D!". I kept thinking to myself, "just keep driving".
Before they got out of the van, I told each of them to ask their teacher the proper spelling of stupid & to report to me when the day is over. So far, I've only received a phone call from one of the teachers. Let's see if The Girl follows my instructions too....
My kids dont seem to take me seriously when i tell tehm to ask their teachers things such as that.
ReplyDeleteSheila, I love this so much. Since we're so far away it really connects me. I laugh every time I read Sassy Pants.
ReplyDeleteI think we are coming home early. Not real early.
Love Mom
Just wait until you come home, Mom.
ReplyDeleteJust wait until you have the 3 of them at one time. I PROMISE, you'll be begging me to take them home. Let me know when you know the date you're coming home.
