I sent my youngest to preschool this month. He’s 4, and I guess it was inevitable that he would go off into the world one day and learn that I am not always right about everything. I am sure one day soon, he will correct me with “But Ms. KATHY said…..” when I say something. And BAM! Mommy is no longer the authority on the world. Crap. He did manage to learn one thing useful in his first week. He came up to “Mom” who is actually “Grandma” but he has called her “Mom” since the beginning. Guess because Daddy does. It’s cute. But, anyway, he came to her and said “F#CK” she, of course, said “WHAT?@!??!?!” and he again said “F#CK” then he said for clarification, “It’s what you say when you are mad or mean.”
“Where did you learn that?”
“At school.”
I go to my son and he won’t tell me a thing. and how do I say “Hey, Kai, did you say F#CK today?” Cus I don’t want to say that to him….but, obviously Mom’ s lesson on that being a bad word worked, cus he is not talking.
Off, I go to the school……
“Hi, ummm, Kai went home and told his Grandmother the F word, and said he learned it here.”
“Oh My Goodness! That is awful, I will talk to him and see if I can learn more”
“ok, thanks, we don’t say that word (shhhhh we do, but not around the kids ) and I just wanted you guys to know someone was saying it. If you hear Kai say “DAMMIT”, that’s all me, and I apologize in advance.”
Now, I just have to figure out what to do with my free time. No kids! What do I do for 4 hours to myself? Guess I will work some, work out (ugh)and volunteer at the school. But what I really want to do is sit down and take some classes at Xtrain.com I am going to take the digital photography class next, there’s a people photography class that looks cool. They are going to do a digital scrapbooking class soon and I want to be ready. Oh, and a Pimp my Myspace type of class! Fun!
