“Mom! Do we have any apples? Peppa’s having an apple.”
“Can we have pancakes for dinner? Peppa’s dad is making pancakes for dinner!”
It started getting weird when Hannah started speaking with an accent and using different vocabulary words.
“Mommy, do I have stabilizers on my bike? Peppa’s dad took off his stabilizers, so I want mine off.”
We knew it was a problem when she was working on a phonics sheet. Her job was to circle anything that started with a B. In the end, she refused to circle the picture of a band-aid, because, “Mommy, that’s a plaster. Plaster does not start with a B.”
The girls heard someone say the word “stupid.” They were horrified and later reported the incident to Mike.
Daddy! We heard someone say the baddest word in Texas!
What word was it?
(Whisper) Stupid!
Yes, that’s not a nice word, but it’s not the baddest word in Texas.
(Pause) What is the baddest word in TX?
I’m not going to say it!
Please, Dad! We won’t tell anyone!

Now that Hannah has started kindergarten, she sometimes addresses me as Mrs. Mommy.
Abby started Girl Scouts this year. At her first meeting, I sat in a chair to the side of the room while Abby sat in the middle with her friends. She likes me with her, especially in new situations, and I wanted her to feel comfortable. After about two minutes, she glanced at me. “Mommy!” I gave her my “I’m here, baby” look. She hissed, “LEAVE!”
