Definitely Christianity - Catholicism, to be exact.
After school today, I entertained Tee full-time. I didn’t turn the computer on once. I didn’t turn the TV on either. No book, no phone. She had my undivided attention.
After lunch, we painted. Then we played some play-doh where she served me yellow cupcakes without skin because apparently, I don’t like skin. O_O
I’m also supposed to be allergic to chocolate. *I wish*
Then, we read the The Rainbow Fish to the Rescue followed by art on a great workbook I found at CzipLee’s which makes them think and let their imaginations run into space. We had some fruit salad and played silly games on the bed where Tee became my belt. Then my pendant. Then my scarf. I know. We’re crazy.
I could feel myself slowly zoning out at 5pm (that’s 4 hours straight of entertaining!)……getting quieter and less mobile, when I told her that I needed a power nap. After a series of negotiations with a lot of Mmm….’s (from me, no doubt with eyes closed) and pehpehpehpehpehpeh from the female machine gun, she finally resigned to asking me the dreaded guilt question.
“Mommy?? Why do kids have so much energy and adults are always tired?”
*snigger* “Because……Uhh…..Mmm…….God made them that way.”
“Was God dwunk when He made kids?”
*First reaction: HUH? Second reaction: WOW!! How intuitive??!! She couldn’t have been more right!!!*
“YES!!! God was very drunk. Just give me five minutes, okay? Mommy needs to sleep for just five minutes and then I promise you, we’ll play again.”
“God dwank too much wine when He made kids. Is that wight, Mommy?”
At which point I burst out laughing because I was amazed that she associated wine with being drunk, and then she said,
“God is cwazy.”
I actually couldn’t stop laughing after that and she kept laughing along with me, loving every minute that she’d made Mommy laugh and then repeating herself, God dwank too much wine. He’s dwunk! He’s too dwunk! Hahahaa!! God is cwazy!! HAhaha!!
I swear to God. My daughter is a psycho.
**********************************
Edited to add: The Hubs says that Tee must’ve overheard my Mother saying that Tok-Tok was so drunk with wine when they went sailing last week and God knows what else she heard to associate drunkness and making kids. Hmm…….He also said that the religion should be an Indian one, because Tee is sooooooo Indian that we won’t be surprised if she became a todiholic. Double Hmmm……….
Once upon a time, I designed buildings and interiors of corporate offices and on the rare occasion, homes. Now, I clean poop and am student of a patience management course. From the drawing board as a London Architect to the realities of Motherhood, I have certainly learned many lessons in humility. And then others.....
To succeed in the corporate world, first succeed with your kid as the happy boss. Seriously.
This blog is about me, Mamapumpkin. A crazy, demented Mom who cares full time, alone, without any help, for an even crazier preschooler AND a baby with a boob addiction problem. *sniff* Someone, please get me a chair.......
I write anything that comes out of my head, mostly without thinking first, which almost always gets me into trouble (according to my husband, also known as the love of my life.......on a good day).
My pet monkeys drive me towards challenge after challenge, 24/7.
Gotta love it.
