My drives to school these days are quite enjoyable with T1 entertaining me with her banter but the drive home is rather long and painful (it used to take 10 minutes to get home, but for some reason now the jam has been very, very bad and it’s taken me 25-60 minutes just to get home this week when it takes me only 5 minutes to get to school!!!) but thankfully, I have JJ and Ean on Hitz to entertain me. In fact, I am hooked on them now and go home just to listen to them online, rewinding old morning sessions and old gotcha calls. There’s nothing like a little humour to kick start my day. And I even found videos on them. Ahahaha!!! If I had a chance, their job is what I would like to do every day.
MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH!!!
This morning they were talking about the BRO CODE – do you know what the BRO CODE is? I loved it. I have so many male friends and they are all loyal to their BRO CODE. Men…..
T1 asked me this morning, “Mommy, you know when there is torment?”
I wasn’t sure I’d heard correctly so I asked her to repeat herself, but when she said exactly the same thing, I paid attention. A little girl of six surely shouldn’t have such words as ‘torment’ in their vocabulary. You know, negative words like death, divorce, evil, torment, cruel….should just not exist in a child’s vocabulary bank. Not yet. At this age, their heads should be filled with words like happy, bubbles, fun, colours, teddy bears…….
“Mommy, when there is a torment, when they send their rackets for stringing, do they have a spare racket?”
“OHHHHHH!!!! You mean TOURNAMENT!!!”
“Oh, tormament.”
Hell, what do I know about tennis and stringing rackets? And why in the world is she thinking about tennis tournaments and stringing rackets on the way to school??? Is there a tennis tournament going on right now?
“I’m sure they have spare rackets.”
“Oh, OK. I was wondering…..because I thought they all put their rackets together for stringing at once and then they wait and chit chat until the rackets are finished during the torment.”
“TOURNAMENT!”
“Oh ya, torment!”
This reminds me of when T1 was 16 months and right up to the age of 2.5 years old, she could NOT pronounce the word umbrella and would call it an umbayaya……like a papaya….UMBAYAYA. That’s my T1’s umbrella. It wasn’t even UMBEYA, it had to be UMBAYAYA.
