Some Words for the Mama to Remember
I think we spent too much time reading about ancient Rome. The proof's in the pudding.
*One night, the girls and I were trying to do something crafty, and I urgently-- and in complete innocence-- called out loudly, "Someone get me some Caesars!" (Yup. Julius and Augustus will be right over.)
*While I was preparing supper one night, Pip sat near me on the kitchen stool, as the girls often do. I was distracted by a too-potent onion and streaming eyes when out of her silence she asked, "Mama, how does an aqueduct mate?" (Well, the same way that duct-tapes do, my sweet.)
And completely unrelated to Rome:
*Su: "Mama, doing chores with Millie is so fun. It's the BEST thing in the ENTIRE world." --small pause-- "Actually- no. The water park is the
best thing in the world." (I was so close to success with my brainwashing tactics, too!)
*One night, Millie came back from a short trip to my parents with her pocket full of chocolates from Grandma and Grandpa-- one for each homebound child. She bounded into the house and announced triumphantly, "Look what I have in my poooockeeeet!" Pip rushed in as excited as can be and responded, "Is it.... (big dramatic pause)....LIVESTOCK?!" (Don't we wish!)
