MomWise

A very wise mom shared some Mom Wisdom with me and it applies more often than I would like to admit. Here goes: "There is nothing more humbling than children."

Had Lunch with my Childhood Best Friend

She lives here in town and I have not seen her since January. How bad is that? Anyway we met when I was 4 and she was 5. We went from kindergarten through high school together and have remained in touch through our adult life even when we did not live in the same town. We have been in the same town for the past 5 years.

I will indulge in two hilarious stories she shared:

Story #1:
She has a 3 year old son. Just after his 3rd birthday he came up to her and announced that he wanted to wear underwear. She explained that he would have to put all his pee and poop in the potty then he could have underwear. That very day he did all his business on the potty. So the next morning (a Saturday) she and the hubby took their son to the store to get underwear. Well, hubby takes off and she is left on the underwear aisle. The son picks out Spongebob, Superman and ..... a set of Barbie panties for girls! I said, "Of course you told him they did not come in his size." No, she is a rookie. She let him take the Barbie panties. They get to the check out and hubby is placing all the items on the belt. He gets to the panties and he freezes. She tells him, "It's ok. He will have accidents we will throw them away. He won't wear them to school." Hubby - "That's it I am getting him a gun!" She said the panties disappeared from the rotation rather quickly and without her knowledge.

Story #2:
She is driving down the street with her son (apparently a bad back seat driver) and a truck driver lets her in so she waves to the truck driver. Her son asks why she waved. She tells him that the truck let her in so she waved to say thank you. Her son lets out a big sigh and comes out with, "Mom, the truck did not let you a person let you in. You know Dad and I are much smarter than you are." Her hubby swears he did not have anything to do with this...

Enjoy!

    LOL on the Barbie panties! I love it when they are just too young and innocent to be jaded about what is "cool" and gender appropriate. :)
