This post is part of "Laughter Lives! Tuesday" on the Riggs Family Blog. Check our their blog to read everyone else's "Laughter Lives!" posts.Another great and FUN idea from the Riggs family. Boy can I contribute to this! With 3 children (a teen, a preschooler and a GIRL toddler) I need to laugh or just go plain crazy!
Samuel (my pre-schooler) has been having some trouble "listening" and "following" directions at preschool. Ok...well he has been FLAT-OUT refusing to nap and remain quiet during nap time and TODAY he even TALKED-BACK to his teacher...but WHATEVER (i am SO not over this yet)!!
Of course i find this out when i pick him up (after a long day with my teen...THAT is another post) so I ask him about it on the way home....."Samuel, why did you choose to not listen to your teacher today? It does not make me happy to hear that you made the wrong choices today"
...silence....silence....more silence...."samuel?"...
"um...um....um....well..well,um...i..i..um..
maybe it was not a listening day for me."
WRONG answer, but I could not help but LAUGH, out loud...really loud and them almost wet my pants (sorry, but it is true)! :)
"uh, when do you think it will be a listening day for you"?
"mommy, i think tomorrow might be, we will just have to see"
and that, my friends we shall do!
Have a GREAT night!
