I love catching bits and pieces of the kids' chatter throughout the day. Sometimes, when they are playing together upstairs, I will brew myself a cup of tea and sit out of sight on the stairs so I can listen to them. Their imaginations and vocalizations never fail to put a smile on my face and make me chuckle.
Today the laugh of the day came while I cleaned the kitchen counters. Alice and Angela were playing next to the kitchen in the formal dining room. I am not sure what the game actually entailed. When I walked by the dining room to put something in the hall closet, I saw Angela crouched under the table and Alice was semi under one of the dining room chairs. I thought it was a game of hide and seek until I heard Alice ask her sister, "Angela, can you push me on the butt? I am stuck."
Ever the obliging sister, Angela replies, "Sure." A grunt of exertion follows.
The push apparently worked because the next thing I hear is, "Thanks, Ang for pushing my butt."
Now there is a conversation I thought I would never hear.

About Me
- Maura
- I am a former high school English teacher who left the classroom for stay at home mommyhood. At the risk of sounding Zen I have entered a classroom I would never have imagined. When I am not changing diapers, letting the dog out, or doing laundry, I am probably asleep. I have hopes to become a children's book writer/published writer. This blog is my way of trying to keep my writing skills and brain intact while watching shows like Blue's Clues.
