A much needed place for honesty in my daily life of being a mom.

A conversation with my 4 year old...

This happened today in the car after picking up Genna from preschool.

ME: Genna, please tell me one thing about school today.
GENNA: Miss Jill gave me a kiss!
ME: Really, a kiss? How come? What did you deserve to a kiss?
GENNA: I behaved nicely. I got a kiss and it was messy.
ME: Miss Jill gave you kiss, how nice, messy huh? Interesting.
GENNA: It got on my dress so you have to wash it tonight.
ME: Um, Genna honey, was this a chocolate kiss?
GENNA: Yeah mommy, I said that already. Miss Jill have me a kiss :)


Four year olds can be exasperating sometimes.


Another conversation a few minutes later.


GENNA: Mommy, guess what?
ME: What sweetie?
GENNA: Miss Josie had a wrist mint today?
ME: Wrist mint? What's that?
GENNA: Mommy you know, Miss Debbie had it too, remember?
ME: HUH? What is a wrist mint? Is that something that is on Miss Josie's arm?
GENNA: No mommy, not on the arm, it is at school and I did it with Miss Debbie. Do you know now?
ME: (laughing) Are you trying to say "enrichment?"
GENNA: Yes, mommy, wrist ment, that is what I said.

BTW, enrichment is a class following lunch at preschool that kids can sign up for that is part arts and crafts, part cooking, part whole lotta fun.

Me and my baby girl!!
