So it was a long weekend. Kadence got sick friday night, poor thing was puking all night long. Between that and Makayla not sleeping well I haven't gotten very much sleep. Needless to say I am more exhausted than usual.
But this just made my day: Bethany- Mom is what Kadence has bacterial or viral?
Me- Beth I don't know. All I know is that she is sick.
Bethany- I wish dad was here because he would know and would tell me
Me- I wish he was here too!
After some thinking on Beth's part and I thought the conversation was over...
Bethany- Theoretically I think it's viral
Me-( Trying not to laugh and thinking what am I going to do with her? She is only seven! I am in big trouble! She is so much like Dale!) Sounds good to me.
Made my whole day! And then she asked me if it was okay for boys to kiss her on the cheek. Now I have to go back to tell this story.
One day after school Beth tells me that this boy she likes kissed her. I freaked out but told myself to stay calm and I asked her where did he kiss you? Bethany told me in the classroom. (Love it) So I repeated, no where did he kiss you? Bethany tells me on the lips. First I wanted to go find that little punk and say a few things to him, but I was proud of myself and I told her that she shouldn't kiss boys yet because that's how you get pink eye. (Lie, I know. But I had to do something) Backing up even more, Beth got pink eye once and hated it, thinks it traumatized her. I think I am very brilliant to have come up with this. So far it's working when she get's older that's another story. Any ideas?
So any way back to what I was saying. I tell her no, that boys kissing her on the cheek is still too close and she will get pink eye. Bethany then asks me "Then where can they kiss me?" I want to yell " no where! You are too little for this!" But I calmly tell her that they can kiss her on the hand because she is a lady. Heaven help me! Bethany, Bethany, Bethany!
I think you need to find the humor in life other wise you will just go crazy ( at least I know I would).
