Someone sent me a slightly treacly set of questions with answers from alleged second graders. I put the questions to my kid, and she stabbed me in the heart.
But have it be known that I am made of sugar and tomatoes!
Oh, ouch. But that's because of the major imbalance. if you both worked...
My daughter did something similar once and, according to her, what I do in my spare time is "eat potato chips and read." My husband's response? "You got off lucky."
You know, I _am_ home and my kids might answer those last two questions the same. I know, no comfort in that. But they would DEVOUR us if they could, which is actually sort of heart-warming (if also a little scary).
I love the sugar and tomatoes thing. That's perfect. And don't worry about the work stuff. Clearly she has a lot of love in her life and is doing all right. :)
My kids would answer the last 2 questions the same way. Ouch.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what I'm made of, though! Love that answer!

ReplyDeleteAwww. It is good to be loved so much, even if it does come with a side order of guilt.
ReplyDeleteThis is classic!
ReplyDeleteI knew it!
ReplyDelete;-)
I love that she thinks of you sitting around in your spare time, just LOVING her as hard as you can. That's a child who knows she is beloved.
