The Kind Of Mother I Am

I taught Eli how to burn ants today. Sometimes I do things and then later wonder what I was thinking.

Like the time I put 2 cantaloupe-sized bouncy balls up my shirt and asked Stewart if he wished I looked like that. Eli came out of his room in time to see me and hear Stewart say "that's disgusting." I did hurry and take them out when I saw Eli but it was too late!

Later that night Eli asked "is my teacher Krystal disgusting because she has big ones of those?" (As he points to my chest.)

Am I really enough of an adult to have a minor child under my care?

Mike, don't you know that you can't spell out Eli's name when you want to say something about E-L-I because he knows how to spell his name? Like when I said to Becca, "Do you think E-L-I will be afraid to sleep in the basement?" and Eli said E-L-I spells Eli and I'm not afraid. Boy did I feel dumb.

Ok, that cantaloupe story is the best thing I've heard all day. Keep up the good work, he's got to be socialized sometime :)

Seriously, if I'd wanted to marry a "milk factory", I would have. Instead I "settled" for a super hot, well proportioned, viking princess.

And I give you an A++ on teaching Eli to burn ants.
