Yesterday I went to a parent "coffee with the Director" meeting at BOY's school. I brought GIRL with me. It was an informal gathering, all of us sitting on benches together in the kitchen. The primary topic was on the status of the middle & upper school's move for the fall. The site that they're considering has lots of positives, including being a block away from a beautiful park with a new gymnasium and athletic fields, all of which could be used for the school. Various things were discussed, including a parent's concern about a liquor store located near the proposed site.
As GIRL and I walked out to the car, I asked her if she had understood anything that we were talking about. She asked me a couple of questions, and then she said:
Mommy, how come they kept talking about the licorice store?

That's too cute! I thought she was going to ask you about jack o'clock. That's what mine would have done.
My husband would love that store.
Aw, that painting is just lovely.
I firmly believe they hear every word and will choose the most inappropriate time to regurgitate it back.
We recently made a pit stop at the liquor store and both boys became irate that we were stopping. They informed me to get enough wine so we don't keep running out.
I also love the idea of a licorice store.
And love the painting. How fun to use a feather for a brush.
Loving that painting. Like mother, like son.
This makes me wonder if there is such a thing as Jack-flavored licorice.
I agree with Manic Mommy - our words often come back to haunt us...and keep us humble. Thanks for sharing the story!
*huge laugh*
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, my friend!
