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.
ReplyDeleteMy husband would love that store.
ReplyDeleteAw, that painting is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteI firmly believe they hear every word and will choose the most inappropriate time to regurgitate it back.
ReplyDeleteWe 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.
ReplyDeleteAnd love the painting. How fun to use a feather for a brush.
I agree with Manic Mommy - our words often come back to haunt us...and keep us humble. Thanks for sharing the story!
