Re: Out of the mouths of Babes

Last night, around 1 am, my almost 6 y.o. crawled into bed with
me. She was seriously stuffed up, and needed some cuddles. So I
listened to her snore for a while and then fell asleep myself...
sort of... but not really.
Many of you know where this is going. ;) Somehow, I find
myself on the tiniest sliver-edge of a king-size bed. There's
some sort of octopus creature all over me: arms, legs, stuffed
toys, you name it. She rolls away from me, and I scoot back to
re-claim some bed space. Ah! But she's not happy and rolls
right back over, cracking me in the middle of the forehead with
her elbow. I'm seeing stars in the dark.
She rouses a bit at the sound of bone-on-bone, mashes her
fingers into my eye sockets trying to find where I am, then lays
a thick, wet kiss on my forehead where she whacked me.
*Awwwwww!* you're thinking I'm sure.... but wait! There's
more!
Still hovering over me, she sneezes in my face, rolls over and
promptly falls asleep.
Guess who'll be sick in time for the weekend. *sigh*

When my daughter was little, and would crawl into bed with us,
she would either kick all the covers off, because she was hot,
and left us freezing. or she would lay horizontally between us,
with her feet on her fathers chest and head on me. Then she
would kick and squirm around.
She also, when she was potty trained would come into our bed
asleep, and then pee in our bed.
Needless to say, there were nights when we did not get a lot of
sleep.

Years ago before I had children myself, I babysat a friend's 4
year old while they were on a trip. We were at the grocery
store with him in sitting in the basket, me leaning over a
freezer compartment inches away from a stereotypical blue-haired
little old lady, when he pipes up with his loud, shrill voice:
When I grow up, I'm going to have a great big penis, just like
my daddy!
The woman never even glanced at us, but I was mortified and
quietly slunk away. Now, with the experience of raising
children, I've have probably laughed - and recognized that the
elderly shopper had likely seen and heard it all with young
children.

She:
1) Heard it and was having a horrible time stifling her
laughter, or --
2) She was old enough to be deaf to four year old voice ranges
and didn't hear him at all or thought he was
asking you for a big bag of peanuts.

Another time while babysitting a different friend's son - again
at the grocery store, him sitting in the basket - we pass by a
big display of some wine on sale. Child was a little less than
3. He casually flicks his hand at the wine display as we pass by
and says, "my dad just loves that stuff".
The statement itself is no big deal, but his tone of voice and
the fact he even said it was hilarious - especially since his
parents were barely social drinkers. I know them well - not
teetotalers but no secret drinking habits; wine not commonly
served in their house. However, I'm sure at some point he had
observed his dad with a glass of wine - perhaps telling the host
it was good, he loved it.
I was a mom by the then so well aware the crazy things that come
of our kids' mouths. So the real fun was harassing the dad
about it. Child is now in college and I still bring it up once
in awhile.

^^^ Our daughter did that to us once when she was in second
grade. Apparently the classroom assignment was to write
something about each member of your family. She wrote that her
Dad and her Mom really liked to sit around drinking wine.
We had just bought a case of assorted wines with two
neighbors/friends (buy three cases for the price of two). It
was the very first wine we'd ever purchased in our lives. We
opened a bottle and shared it with the other four adults
involved in the purchase. That was it. The one and only time
she'd ever seen us with wine.
It was not, however, the one and only time she embarrassed us.
:D

I don't know whether the older child knows things and keeps them
to herself, or whether she doesn't know the words at all. The
little one has no problem with asking about any word she hears.
Thankfully, for this episode, she actually moved closer to me at
Grandma's supper table and asked me quietly: "Mommy, is 'f*ck
it' a bad word?"
"It's a word that grown ups use sometimes when they're angry or
upset, but kids shouldn't use it."
"But why is 'f*ck it' a bad word for only grown ups?" she asked
"We'll talk about it more at home. This isn't the place to do
it. Go back and finish your meal." I replied. And while she
forgot to follow up with me, sometimes I wonder if she asked
just to see what my reaction would be. Thank goodness my M-i-L
didn't hear.... she wouldn't be able to keep a straight face.

Long ago, a co-worker's daughter embarrassed her mom with
discussions in kindergarten about mom's use of opium and how it
"made her happy". The teacher figured there was another side to
the story, but did mention it at parent night. This was before
Opium became popularly known as a a YSL perfume.

Same kid (perhaps same weekend)... I was talking about food and
what plans for dinner. He loudly and gleefully starts repeating
over and over:
I wanna go to Target and eat chikin! (spelling intentional as
that's how he said it, extra emphasis on Target, eat, and
chicken.)
He wasn't throwing a tantrum or anything, just very excited
about the idea. I teased his mom later who was clueless. They
occasionally shop at Target, but he'd never had chicken there.
We supposed maybe the little concession stand where they sell
popcorn had a picture of chicken nuggets or he'd seen something
on a commercial. Who knows.

My mom started wearing Opium about the time it came out in the
late 70's and was still wearing it in the early 80's when sis
and I were in college. One day, Sis mentioned she planned to buy
mom some opium powder for Christmas. We didn't realize my
roommate didn't know we were talking about a perfume fragrance.
Weeks later she asked if we were just joking about buying opium
for mom and was even more flabbergasted when we told her no,
that our mom used it all the time. Mom had been wearing the
perfume for so long that neither of us associated the term with
a drug.
