Questions

On the way to swim class this morning, the questions began. One after another. Nonstop. So I answered every single one of them. And then I ended my answer with “What other questions do you have?” So he came up with more. In the 15 minute car ride, we discussed electricity, wildflowers, bridges, rain, street lights, and clouds. By the time we got to swim class and I asked again, “What other questions do you have?” He finally said, “Well, I guess I don’t have any more.”

WHEW! Now I know it takes 15 minutes to reach the end of an inquisition!

The Classics

While watching one of our favorite Disney movies the other day, my son asked, “Why is there fire in all the movies?” “Fire in all the movies? There isn’t fire in all the movies.” He said, “Uh huh! Bolt. Sleeping Beauty. The Incredibles. Shrek. Aladdin. Bambi. ” 

I suppose there is supposed to be a great element of evil to counteract the good, but he’s right. There sure is a lot of fire in those movies!

#thatmom

I decided in the grocery store the other day to start using a Twitter hashtag and Facebook page about motherhood called #thatmom.

I was #thatmom who pulled one of those baby food packets off the shelf and opened it so my 1 year old would stop screaming. Of course I paid for it. But I was embarrassed. I posted to Facebook to help relieve my guilt via public awareness and received overwhelming response from my friends that it was common practice. Good to know. But I still feel guilty about it because now my one year old expects it to happen every time we go down the baby food aisle… #thatmom.

So join me on Twitter by setting your search feed to #thatmom, and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/yesiamthatmom
