In an attempt to be connected with my ever growing independent kids, I try to ask them about what they learned at school, what was great about their day or what their plans are for destroying me in a slow ignominious death.
Tonight we sat down to potato soup in pumpkin bread bowls. I was hoping to balance out the sugar high with some salt and maybe add some swollen ankles to the stomach ache and spinning room.
Totally beside the point.
Anyway, I asked the girls what they learned about in church. I always know what Annie learned in church since I am involved-every week it’s the same-“how do I make my mom so crazy that by the time we make it home she just stares at the wall and says ‘ba ba ba ba ba’ until someone hands her a Diet Coke and a cookie?” Of cousre, what she actually says is, “JESUS” but we all know what it really means.
Audrey said, “Swearing.”
To which I replied, “swearing, really?”
Audrey: “Well, to not swear, it’s bad, you know like swear words.”
Mom: “Oh yeah, you shouldn’t swear.” (The lesson was on Choose The Right, so I’m guessing that was a major topic.)
Annie: “Yeah, like dammit. you shouldn’t say damn. Unless you are talking about a beaver’s dam.”
Man, cheesy potato soup really hurts coming out your nose!

Oh yes, the cussing lesson. Boog had that a few weeks ago and he told the teacher that he chooses not to swear even though his mom chooses to say every naughty word you could think of. Wow. awesome!
LOL! I snorted my food too, reading that.
LOL!!! She is too cute!!! Wouldn't do well in Australia then - they say damn and hell over the pulpit and in the halls at church since they are not considered swear words.
Lol! It would have been fun to be in on that lesson.
That was cute! Like "you don't say ass unless you're talking about a donkey!
awesome. Annie has impeccable comedic timing. Did you get your diet coke?
babababababa staring at the wall HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Did Annie make it through the entire primary time? She knows she is taking her life in her hands when she goes to church, right? I love the stage Audrey and Erin are going through right now, it is adorable.
thanks for being you. . . I now have the stength to be a mom this morning.
