Wow, my kids have received my graceless gene. It doesn't matter where we go, someone falls and tears up their knee. If it's concrete, my kids are running way too fast and another boo-boo is covering the one received only days ago.
Here's one that you'll either groan or laugh at...
Remember that Emma has had a crash course in Heaven and has recently lost Nana and Babe... Well, we just spent some time with Grandma Jean and Zeke, Brian's paternal grandparents (I have vowed they are mine as well) they are absolutely wonderful! Well, the next day as we were at Uncle Guy and Aunt Nancy's house for brunch - if you ever get out to Rome - stop in, she is the best cook! Wowee! Well, on to my story...
Emma looks at Grandma Jean and said "you're old", to which Grandma replied "yes" - good lord - what do you say to that?? So Em decided to say that her Nana died and that Grandma Jean would too. I'm hearing this second hand, so I couldn't really put my hand over her mouth or try to save her. So Grandma said, "Yes, I will, but not very soon and I will meet you in Heaven." Em looks at her and says, "I'm not old, I'm not going to heaven!"
Grandma tells me this later and I couldn't help, wince at Emma's choice of words, but of course Gram takes it in stride. "Out of the mouths of babes."
Did I tell you about the lady in Wal-Mart? Emma walked up to her and told her that her teeth were missing. Oh God! Why didn't you swallow me then? I apologized to the lady and ran, not walked to the checkout. Please save me from my honest little kids!
We had a great time with Brian's family and I came away with a great story about cows to tease my mother in law with....
