Monday I wasn’t feeling well (I’ve got a wicked cold), but I had an appointment to get my hair cut and my brows waxed and there was NO way I was missin’ that. So, I dropped the kids off with my mom at my Grandma’s house so they could visit my Grandma, who thinks her great-grandkids are the bee’s knees. The kids always have the best time there, as my mom & Grandma just playplayplay with them and ply them with sugar before handing them back over to me.
So, when I came to pick the kids up, Joshua wasn’t thrilled to leave. But they’d been there a good three hours and Sophie was ready for a nap. After I got them in the car, I said, “Joshua, did you have fun at Grandma’s today?”
“Yeah, but I’m not having fun now ’cause you’re here.”
Well. Thanks for your honesty, kid.
Later that afternoon, I was feeling really sick and was on the couch in my bathrobe with my tissue box, snuggling with Joshua.
“I’m sad.” he said mournfully.
“Why are you sad baby? Because Mommy’s sick?”
“No, I’m sad because Daddy isn’t here all day.”
Blergh. At least it’s nice to know where I stand.
Hope you are feeling better. B and I are looking forward to seeing you guys on Friday!
man kids really know how to stick it to you good huh…I hope you are feeling better today!
Gosh, I am glad I am not the only one who gets zingers from the kids once in a while. I did not buy some candy that my daughter wanted at the store a while back and once we got to the car she informed me that, “You’re ugly.” I don’t know why but that coming from a four year old really hurt my feelings. It may have been just the shock of hearing that come out of her mouth.
I hope you are feeling better!
Familiarity breeds contempt!
Awww.
Well when Mom is being taken for granted that means she’s doing her job 8)
My two-year old is like this – luuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrves her dad, with big pink puffy hearts, and tolerates me. Until it’s time for her bedtime song, and then I’m back on her good list. I reckon Crystal’s comment is spot on! Hope you feel better soon!
I think it’s the “winter wall” as we call it. We’ve been cooped up all winter, and Ethan says to me one day, “When is daddy coming home to play?” (He asked this right in the middle of playing with him!)
WELCOME TO THE MOMMY CLUB OF BOYS 5 AND UP! HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER!
At least he just doesn’t find you entertaining. I, however, am still the meanest mom in the whole entire world.
Now you have something to live up to!
Ouch! I hope you’re feeling better – and not permanently scarred from those loving remarks! 😉
