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!*

LOL I'm sorry, but I laughed so hard at the last Miss Gracie comment!
ReplyDeleteThat made me smile ... I'm VERY freckly!
ReplyDeleteSo 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! :)
ReplyDeleteAh, I've scratched off those little brown dots before..quite painful! ha ha
