You know what I mean.
You used to be able to talk about anything and everything in front of your kids, simply by spelling the words because, ah HA! They couldn’t spell yet!
You used to be able to write notes to each other about anything and everything right in front of your kids because, ah HA! They couldn’t read yet!
You used to be able to tell them you’d be there in a second and show up 20 minutes later with no ill effects because, ah HA! They had no concept of time.
Not so anymore.
I’m in my bedroom folding laundry.
Princess is in her room across the hall.
She yells “Mooommmyyy! Can you come give me one more kiss please?”
I yell “Of course. Just a second.”
I walk in there 27 seconds later.
How do I know this?
Because she’s laying in bed, counting, softly . . . 1 missiwippy 2 missiwippy . . . 27 missiwippy.
I gave her a kiss and a hug.
She said thanks.
She also informed me that I “needed to get crackin’ because it shouldn’t take any person 27 seconds to walk across the hall!”
I guess I deserved that.
Oh boy, do I know what you mean! Those little buggers get too smart for their britches quick, don’t they?!
OHMYGOODNESS! The cuteness just oozes out of that kid!
That is so funny! Little Bear does that sometimes when I tell her “In five minutes.” She thinks “Minutes” are “Milliseconds,” I guess, because she’ll yell “One-tw-three-four-five!”
I am SOOO feeling your pain! If I respond with any kind of time limit (in a minute…give me 5 more minutes…ect.), my girls set the timer on the stove.
It. Drives. Me. To. Distraction.
Princess is sooooooo sweet! Love…Mom
I am sitting here laughing like crazy. You made my day. What a delightful child. I love the missiwippy!
Your have the most interesting children. I can’t wait for the teenage years.
Your kids are hilarious!
Megan reads my emails over my shoulder. It makes me crazy! And yes, they have told me I can’t say “in a second” anymore. UGGHHH!
