Dreamer's Other Life

Some funny things have been happening lately, and since I really need a pick-me-up (and you might, too), I thought I'd share.

When I'm not being the Mud-Mom, I am a mother and a teacher. I'll try to put these in the order of when they happened - all of them this week.

------------------------

Me: Can we make this formula look prettier? Is there anything we can do to simplify it further?
11th Grader: Well, you could put a dress on it, but that might be hard to size.

-----------------------

6th grader: Miss, you know? You're really pretty for your age.
Me: Are you calling me old? *grin*
(I'm only 28.)

----------------------

Daughter: Mommy, look! I pitty! (her version of pretty)
... she had cut her hair. Luckily, only one bit of it, so I was able to take the scissors from her, and I straightened it out as best I could. So then, she started prancing around the room.
Daughter: Tank you, Mommy! I pitty, I pitty!

---------------------

I was eating a sandwich. My son comes up with this little mini-replica of a school locker, opens it up.
Son: Mommy. Put sammich here. Put sammich here.
So... I put my sandwich in the locker. I... have now lost my sandwich. >.<

My afternoons can be like this:

Me: "Hazel (my cat), get off the table."
Cat walks to other side of table and sits.
I round the table, "get down."
Cat walks across the table and jumps to the piano.
I sigh and walk over to the piano and nudge her off on to the piano bench.
The cat immediately heads back to the far side of the table.

And this goes on until I pick her up and take her to another part of the house.
