Cocktail Playdates, revisited

When we picked Miss M. up at daycare yesterday, it was a beautiful fall day and all the kids were outside. We hung out for a bit chatting with people, she demonstrated her tricycle riding prowess, we discussed playdates, and Miss M. asked a teacher if she’d like to come to our house for a “wine-over”.

Some neologism, huh? Grown-ups drink wine and she's pining for a sleep-over, so the next best thing is a wine-over.

As it happens, it's the one teacher I would invite over for some wine. Though I did discover this morning that another teacher and the daycare director went to the Springsteen concert at the Garden last week. I'd have gone to that in a minute.

  11. You've clearly got to be less subtle about expressing your interests and enthusiams, or you'll never get to see the Boss!

  16. I can't believe that I never had a wine-over. This no drinking for the rest of my life just sucks. A wine-over? It just sounds so seductive.

  17. I definitely think she's onto something there. I could go for a wine-over as well.

  18. Why didn't I think of that? I should start inviting people to wine-overs. Can't be a bad move first year in a new school, can it?
