I have actually had a pretty good week. Nothing exciting going, but nothing too bad either.
I did have an interesting trip to Walmart with the 4-year-old Friday night. We are stopped in an aisle looking at stuff, and E. is in the cart. Well, a young couple comes walking down the aisle and, of course, my child has to say hi to them. She is 4 and thinks she has to talk to everyone. So, they stop for a minute to ask to her. Now, these kids are late teens, maybe early twenties. So E asks the young girl, "Is that your boyfriend?" And the girl tells her yes, he is.
Now, here is the kicker.
E turns to me and asks, "Mommy, are they having sex?"
I get all red and have no clue what to answer. I want to sink through the floor. My first thought is, did she say what I think she said? My next thought is, where the hell did she learn that?
So, I do what has to be done. I tell her that that is not something we ask, apologize to the young couple (the girl is as red as I am and the guy is trying really, really hard not to laugh) and rush to another part of the store.
I am never, never taking my child out in public ever again.
Yea, right.
I am still trying to figure out where she learned this. TV? Probably. I am pretty guilty of using TV as a babysitter at times. But damn, all she ever watches are cartoons. Her sister? Maybe.
Other than that and her getting an allergic reaction to a band-aid (of all things, a friggin' band-aid) and me having to shell out major dough for Prednisone, the week has been pretty calm.
Hope life is running smooth for everyone else.
