The other day I was doing Lauren's hair and she put her arms around me and said:
"Mom you have big sides"
Huh? What? I quickly thought of all the snippy Motherly comebacks I could tell her like:
Watch your mouth young lady! or
You can't talk to your Mother that way! or
Yeah, thanks to you! or
Just wait...it's hereditary!
Instead I decided to be the bigger man, chuckled and told her thanks! {which confused her}
I was going to let it slide. She doesn't understand. She wasn't trying to be mean.
Then there was today.
I was sitting in the chair and she climbed up to sit next to me and in her most mature, whiny 4 year old voice:
"I want to sit by you but you are toooo big!"
Really??? Why must I continue to be insulted by my 4 year old?
Is it really necessary? We did not teach her this!
I'm scared.
What is it going to be like when she is 12 or 15 or 17?
I am pretty sure I will be the dumbest, ugliest, most embarrassing mother on the planet.
Which probably means, at that point, I am doing my job!

I have the same thoughts about Brianna. I dread those teenage years. I'm relishing these joyful years all I can.
