Conversations with my daughter.
Feb. 18th, 2008 06:39 pmAlex: Why do you have to go to the doctor?
Me: Remember when I had to go to the hospital a while ago? After you've been in the hospital, your doctor usually needs to check to make sure everything is okay.
Alex: Does your tummy still hurt, Mama?
Me: No. I feel okay. But the doctor needs to check my insides to make sure everything is okay there.
Alex: But HOW are you going to take your OUTSIDES off?

Date: 2008-02-19 08:06 am (UTC)My mum used to be a child minder. This meant that parents would drop off their kids before school and she would have them for the day or take/collect some from school. Our house was full of small people when I got home from my senior school and we'd play together or watch TV so quite often the kids would be reluctant to go when their parents arrived to pick them up and take them home. One day this occurred.
Mother: Hi Toni, it's time to go home now.
Toni: Awww, but I'm watching a cartoon with the others. Can't I stay?
Mother: No, you know we need to get you home for some tea and it's late already.
Toni: But I promise I'll watch it quickly!
