Madalyn'ism III


{Setting: Mom, mySamuelson, Miss Gracie & Punk in their respective vehicular seats.}

Miss Gracie:  "Mom, that brown polka dot isn't coming off my leg. (Simultaneously points and scratches at the brown dot.)

Mom:  (Grin growing as she realizes what said "brown dot" is.)  "That brown dot is called a freckle, Dear."

mySamuelson:  "What brown polka dot?" (Ears are always tuned in!)

Miss Gracie:  "The brown polka dot on my leg."

Mom:  "It's a freckle." (Hmmmm... Wonder how many times I'll have to repeat that?)

mySamuelson:  "Oh.  I have freckles on my face." (dismissive)

Miss Gracie:  "I have one polka dot on my leg and it's not coming off." (concerned)

Miss Gracie:  "I'm trying to scratch it and it's not coming off!" (a twinge of panic)

*I have very little doubt now to which child my OCD genes went!*

  3. So cute! My mom told me I had angel kisses - but that might not be a good idea to tell Miss Gracie! The conversation would make a great blog post though! :)

Take a moment and share some "life". :)
