I've Traumatized the Child


I guess I can count on the kids for something to post about.


If you missed my "Way Cute Flip Flop" story you might want to read it first so that this post makes more sence. Click on the words Way Cute Flip Flops and it will take you to the post.

As we were rounding the McDonald's drive thru yesterday Shelby noticed that there were sea gulls every where and pointed them out to me. (Sea gulls are any where there is food.) I asked her why she thought there were so many flying around, and she told me, "I think they are looking for my flip flops." Then she said, "Do you got mine?" I told her yes they were at the house.
Last week when we went to the beach with the family she saw all the birds and put her flip flops under her arm pits so that they couldn't see them.
I suggested we buy some bread and feed the birds today and she'll say "that's okay, they're not hungry."
So she's done with the cheap fun of feeding birds. Maybe I can talk her sister into bird feeding.

Children say the funniest things. I think these days those are some of the biggest laughs I get, when my three year old talks. I love to listen to what he has to say.

Christon,
I'm laughing too hard to write! The scene you conjured up just by saying "after Sissy visited & . . . "

Gigi,
Feeding the birds has been a family tradition for more than 6-7 generations. You've gotta find a way to un-traumatize that precious great-granddaughter of mine. Reagan may be the answer.

See you're back on track! Didn't take long at all...

Hugs, Love and Prayers,
mum

Yes, she definately sounds traumatized. You can come to my park in the backyard anytime. That will only cost you $1 a person.
