I started something with the boys that I'm not sure I should have.
They asked me one night at bedtime if I ever did anything naughty when I was younger, so I told one of my naughty-nesses as a story featuring "Naughty Mama."
It really cracked them up and they've asked for more naughty mama stories ever since. I always thought I was a pretty nice girl, but when I look back on my life I can remember lots of mischievous and sometimes downright naughty things I've done. Maybe it makes me seem more human to them. :-) I guess it's worth having a sort of record of that, even if it's just an oral tradition handed down. I won't be recording the experiences here, just in case you were wondering.
Well, how can we hear them then? I want to know what I missed out on all those years under my radar!
ReplyDeleteHa! Surprised you could think of anything. :) I can think of a few of my own, though. My boys would love this.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I want to hear at least a tame "naughty mamma" story. :)
ReplyDeleteI can think of one thing you need to be sure to include. . . That you live so far away! That's "naughty" for sure. We are missing you guys! Caleb shed a few real tears that first night home. We love you all and wish so badly that we lived closer to one another. Glad you finally made it home safely. Can't wait for the next gathering.
ReplyDeleteI think that's a fun idea. Peter has been asking me more frequently if I have experienced the same types of torture he has to. "Did your mom ever make YOU clear the table?"...and the like. I'm sure my boys would love this.
