A great “unconscious” parenting moment…..

Last night’s bedtime conversation while DD and I were snuggling together:

MermaidGirl: “Mommy, we are in the now.”

(or at least this is what I thought I heard)

Me: “Wow, MermaidGirl, that’s right, we are.”

(feeling a bit amazed that she was referring to her Eckhart Tolle children’s book that teaches about being in the now, and was using that concept appropriately)

MermaidGirl: “NO Mommy, we are in a NOUN. We are in a NOUN. House is a NOUN.”

Me: “Ohhhhhh, yup, that’s true also.”

MermaidGirl: “Mommy, I’m already cold.”

(or so I thought this is what she said)

Me: “Oh sweetie, you are already cold?”

(she complains of getting cold every night while sleeping)

MermaidGirl: “NO MOMMY, an ARTICLE! What is an ARTICLE?”

(referring to the parts of speech she’s been learning…)

MORAL OF THE STORY: Don’t try to talk to your child when you are too tired. They’ll think you are stupid.
