Molly is 10... going on 38! She is very intuitive, insightful, thoughtful, caring, and has acquired a very funny personality. Molly is my sidekick and I just love being in her company!
Last weekend when we got the kids, I hadn't seen them since our trip to Disney World and I had really missed them.
Molly came up to me and said, "Um, do you have something for me?"
Me: what do you mean? We are getting ready for dinner? No.
Molly: You know... something for me?
Me: Nope. (thinking to myself - JUST BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN U IN A WHILE DOES NOT WARRANT A GIFT??? maybe I can make a lesson out of this...)
Molly: So, you mean, you don't have a gift for me... IN YOUR BELLY?
Me: Dumbfounded? What???? WHAAAATTTTT???? NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Later that weekend, we go to Barnes and Noble. I go get coffee, John takes the kids upstairs to the kids section and when I get up there, both kids are in their dads lap (big surprise!) in an over stuffed chair.
To no surprise of coarse, John and Mack are looking at a book about "fancy-handled-knives". Molly, on the other hand, is "hiding" the book that she has chosen. (She's at the stage that she can (and WILL) read anything - and age "appropriate-ness" is always a factor!)
Me: Molly, I hope that you have chosen to read something that is age appropriate?
Molly: ummm
Me: Mol, really - I dont want you reading something that you know isn't appropriate!
(me, looking at the book that she is hiding... I GASP!)
Molly; I KNEWWW you were going to do that and I'm ONLY looking at it for the book I'm writing.
ME: DEER IN HEADLIGHTS...
Ummm, yeah. Its the one and only: 60,000 BABY NAMES!
Good grief... this kid is hard up for a sibling? Someone PLEASE send my kid a baby doll!!!!
... that cries, poops, stays up ALL night, and that needs funding for a college education!
SIGHHH... welcome to my life!
