Chloe: Mommy I really want to say the “F” word to you but I’m trying not to say it.
Me: What?!?! What F word? What are you talking about? (freakin out)
Chloe: … (smiles)
Me: Ms. Chloe, tell me what the F word is. Right now.
Chloe: I really want to say Freckles but I’m trying not to say it to you.
In the last month or so Chloe’s been making funny comments regarding the freckles on my face and she thinks it’s funny to count them. I told her not to do that because that makes me feel bad.
Me: (relieved) Oh, you meant freckles… That’s fine.
Chloe: Did you think I was going to say the OTHER F word?
Me: What?? What’s the other F word? (freaking out again)
Chloe: Fart! (and she laughs)
Today was a Crazy Hat day at school so I made Chloe a flower cowboy hat. I was feeling proud…
then I walked in to Shane’s class room and realized that his class was participating to the event too. I felt so awful I didn’t make anything for him… Luckily his teacher had some extra hats for the kids who forgot… I win the bad mother award today. 🙁 I guess I f’ed up…
