Ahahahahaha so I'm not the only one who occasionally gets embarrassed by her kids.

Apparently little Maya (Best Friend's sister and Tadpole's classmate, yay!) spotted the recycling bin in the classroom the other day.

Maya: OH! We have one of those at home, too! That's where my mum puts her empty wine bottles!
Teacher *grins*: And does she have many empty wine bottles?
Maya: Oh yes! My mum LIKES wine. She drinks a lot of wine
Teacher *cracks up*

But of course, she knows Maya's mum, who doesn't really look like someone who likes wine overly much.

And then, I borrowed the third and youngest child in that family for a zoo visit the other day; Leah is 2 1/2 and only just potty trained. So I had to take her with me to the bathroom at some point.

Leah: Are you wearing panties?
rainette *blinks*
Leah: I am.
rainette: yeah, me to
Leah: Do you have a peenish or a vah-china?
rainette *tends to be less anatomically correct with her kids and doesn't expect Big Scientific Words in Latin from a 2 1/2 year old, thus is incredibly dense* Sorry? Can you repeat, sweetpea, I didn't get it?
Leah *slowly and very loudly*: Do you have a peenish or a vah-china?
rainette *blinks*
Leah: I have a vah-china, and so does my mum, and Maya...
rainette: yes, ok, shhhhhh. I have a vagina
Leah. 'k.

But I have to say, that child is incredibly sweet.

Leah: I like you very much.
rainette: I like you too, sweetie.
Leah *very seriously* I like you very, VERY much.
rainette: me too, I like you very much too.
Leah: But you're not my dad.

Well, no, but then I thought we had already established that I had a vah-china and not a peenish.

In other news, Froglet went to the dentist today, and LO AND BEHOLD, the cavity has finally been filled.

She put up a good fight though. I hope we don't have too many of those visits in the near future.

Oh, and also: Happy Birthday
