Sometimes as a parent, I find myself thinking..."why do I have to do this?" Please make this moment go away!
Riley is a great kid, she has a wonderful sense of humor, and loves to make people laugh...and as I have stated before, "this is going to come back to haunt me when she is older!" One of those moments came Saturday afternoon in front of a nice lunch with my cousin and her cute little family. Of course...moments like this always happen in public, in front of people. Why? I guess it is revenge for humiliating our parents, and so on, and so on.
Lunch was going great, we were all laughing and having a great time....and all of a sudden I hear, "I am gonna kick you in the winnie!" Yes...it came from Riley.
Did I hear her right? NO! I don't want her to know what a winnie is yet...let alone thinking about and saying "winnie!" I just learned what a winnie is last year! Ha. Not my precious little girl! It was shocking to hear such a disgusting word come out of my sweet little girl's perfect, innocent little mouth.
Needless to say, I had to sit down with my 5-year-old, at bedtime, after a cute little bug story, and discuss what a winnie was and why we do not kick them....even though as a grown woman you sometimes may feel like kicking "it!" However, I will save that conversation for her wedding night....or before she leaves for college. Ha. Sorry boys.
So...I made it through the winnie conversation....what is next? I don't want to know....let me recover from this one first.

"Winnie," I think I may have heard of that! At least you handled it well. My son is turning 11 in May. We have the maturation program to look forward to this year. However I hear it has changed since I was there. Dave gets that one! It is the agreement, he gets the boys, I get the girls!
ReplyDeleteWhen kids get older it doesn't get any easier.Every age is different.I always says its like a book.Every age is like a new chapter.Sometimes Good & sometimes bad.But it all works out at the end!

ReplyDeletePS - I am okay if you need to remove this comment!
That was great...even though I didn't hear it when she said it and me, Jason, and Chris were all looking at each other whispering "what'd she say?". Funny funny stuff!
ReplyDeleteYou all make me laugh! Raquel...I almost fainted when I read that! I think I will think about that in a few years! I hope!
