My 9yo son has a way with words. The other day he came and sat next to me on my bed. He looked down at my head and said "Mom, I can see straight through to your scalp, even though you have hair. But its not BAD, like a chihuahua." So, my thinning hair is being noticed by others now. Eww...
Today, I was stomping around the house in a tiff because our Christmas tree has been utterly demolised by the littles and laundry is piling up again. I was barking orders at everyone right as hubby called. He later told me that the conversation between him and the 9yo went something like this:
dad: Hey bud!
JD: Hey.
dad: who's mom fussing at?
JD: (lowers his voice for dramatic effect) She's fussing at EVERYone dad, she's grumpy.
dad: The best thing to do when mom is grumpy is to do exactly what she's says.
JD: I am. Its not helping. |
