Miss Ro, sorry, Miss Princess Ballerina Butterfly Ro, was playing on her mini-Papasan chair last night & fell out of it. I told her "Be careful". To which my child replied, "Oh I am so clumsy, Mama!" with such glee that I felt I had to correct her.
I said, "Being clumsy is not something to be proud of, Rowan. You don't want to be clumsy, you want to be graceful."
My child then screamed, as she ran from the room, "NOOOO Mommy! Don't turn me into that!!" Yep. That's my daughter.
Ro also said her first, and I hope only, for a very looong time, swear word on Wednesday..."Damn it!"
She gets that from me. I admit it. And I am working on that. But it could have been much worse. She could have dropped an F~bomb, as I have read recently on some other Mommy Blogs.
Wouldn't that have been lovely on Christmas Eve..."Go say hi to Grandma & Grandpa, Rowan." "F@&$!, hi!!" Yep. That would have gone over like a Ho in church with two Pimps at my Mexican, Catholic In~Laws' house (I would have gotten the blame for that one, even though my Hubs uses it waayyy more than I do)! Maybe she will never say it again...a Mama can pray, right?
Speaking of In~Laws...they did their annual name draw for the Christmas Gift Exchange. We weren't there for it because Hubs had to work on Thanksgiving. Again. My FIL called to tell us who we got in the exchange...Hubs got his Mom & I got his sister. Oh Joy!!
She (SIL) didn't make a list this year...Double Joy! She likes leopard print. Her whole family wore leopard print pajamas & Santa hats for their Christmas picture last year. She brags that she can wear the same size as her youngest daughter. Apparently she raids the teen's closet, now that she has had gastric bypass surgery (a total cop~out for her).
Maybe I will just get her a gift certificate for Ho's R' Us. They ought to have a ton of inappropriate clothing for a 40+ year old woman with no fashion sense!
