Tell the truth, shame the devil!
Today
was spent in our favotite place where we can take home what ever we
want and how many of what we want. The Library! Well, we learned today
that you can only have 60 items checked out at a time. I know 60 may
seem like a lot, but if you add up how many books, videos and cds
excite one child, its easy to get to 60. Plus, not to mention the idea
that you can fill up the library bag with whatever you want, come on,
it doesn't get any better than that!
I thought to share this funny story from the Pedetrician yesterday. My
dd had her 6 year old check up. They did the normal things, height,
weight, heart etc, etc. The doc comes in and asks me if I had any
concerns. This is how the conversation went.
"I am concerned about her pulling her hair out. Its been going on now for a while and I am worried her hair will not grow back."
Ped, turns to my dd and asks, "Why are you pulling out your hair?"
Dd, with that look that tells me "I am embarrased so I will put this
pouty on my mouth and say something silly to get the attention off of
me", turns to the Ped and says, "I'm scared."
"What scares you?"
"Momma and Daddy," my dd replies.
~~~~~ Park the bus right here! What the devil is this girl thinking?
Moreover, what is the DOCTOR thinking? Am I gonna get DSS at my door
tomorrow?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With peaked interest, Ped asks, "When do Mommy and Daddy scare you?"
~~~~ By now I'm giving her this look that says, 'girl you betta come with the truth, and quick!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
DD replies, "They scare me at night."
The docotor now turns to me with all jokes gone and with a face of
stone and says, 'If you and your dh are arguing or going through a
rough time, try not to allow the children to hear you."
~~~~~~~ Just as background info, dh and I do not argue like
normal people. If someone would see one of our arguments they would
question if we are giving each other the silent treatment! We
intentionally take our time to form our words so as not to say
something we don't mean. Please don't get me wrong, there have been
some heated debates, but the kids have only heard 2 of them and the
last one was 4 months ago outside the Target store!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Back to the conversation)
At this point, I knew what my embarrased dd was trying to say, so I
asked her to clarify what Mama and Daddy did that scared her.
"At night, when they forget to close their door I get scared because its dark in there."
I just sat there and shook my head with my eyes to the ceiling and
prayed the old Negro spiritual, "Father I stretch my hand to Thee, no
other help I know. If Thy withdrawl Thy hand from me wether shall I
go?" Lord, what am I gonna do with this chile!!!!!
