la_rainetteDear Teenagers,
Please remember that God gave you eyes, so that you can see where you are going instead of falling all over that stroller of mine that is a) much too small for you, b) already full of Tadpole anyway. Now, should you fail to do so, how about using the tongue God gave you and apologize? No, not to me, but to squished and unhappy Tadpole. I ask her to apologize when she hurts me/her sister/the cat (Husband being left to fend for himself), so why not extend her the curtesy?
Also: hopping onto the elevator's ramp will stop the whole thing, didn't you know? Where you put that butt of yours is strictly your business, I agree, but the stroller, Tadpole and I strongly object to having to climb the bloody escalators on foot. So please wait until we have cleared the area to break down the building. Thank you for your cooperation.
No love,
Rainette, Who Will Take The Elevator Next Time
Dear God,
Please make Tadpole colour-blind at mealtimes. I am tired of picking out anything that is green, orange or yellow (or any other colour that is not fried-rice-brown) out of her fried rice.
Much love and many thanks,
Rainette
In other news, I have discovered the Sekrit of baby teeth: threaten them with a visit to the dentist, beat them up with a Very Sticky Lollipop, and that tooth that was so firmly planted in Froglet's gum yesterday morning, with the new, permanent tooth, well visible and already tall behind it, jiggled so hard today that I cancelled the appointment with the dentist that I had just made. The dentist wasn't pleased. I am now wondering if that tooth will still be attached to Froglet when I go get her this afternoon (I gave her a little plastic bag to keep it, should it fall off.)
This morning, as she looked at herself in the mirror, my Froglet asked sweetly: "Mom, am I magnificent?"
:D
I don't know about magnificent, but she is undoubtedly cute.
ETA: The tooth is still there. I suspect a ploy to get another sticky lollipop.

Also, not all of us teenagers are so terrible. Especially those of us who either care for/live with small children. ^^

And thank you. :) Froglet is very pleased.

The other day, I'm not sure what about, Ethan said to his father "That's FANTASTIC!"
..."What's fantastic mean?"
Good luck to Froglet with her tooth. Stubborn little things, teeth are.
And I promise, should I ever meet Tadpole, NOT to sit on her!
