(MarieFinds) Kids say the damndest things

Jess has mentioned on a couple of occasions that we got tattooed together. Jess get hers on the inside of her ankle, Ray Ray got a sweet anklet, and I got a blue moon on my "hip". That is in quotes because it is my lower abdomen... about an inch below the hip pointer, but on the front.

Anyway, Squirrel has seen it and noticed it many times. Yesterday, she noticed it again, and wanted to touch it, talk about it and generally found it funny.

So, we get to day care and she says several times, "Mommy moon! Mommy moon! Mommy moon ... BELLY!" "Yes, baby, Mommy has a moon on her belly."

And then I had to explain to the daycare staff, that I have a tattoo. And I hear, "Oh, Mommy's a rebel..."

Heh.

My 35 year old self laughed. At 19 year old me. At the 24 year old hipster boy who takes great care of my daughter, and at 2 year old her. Hmm.

(MarieFinds) Today we were those parents

You know the ones. The ones that send their sick kids to daycare. And I don't mean "has the sniffles" sick. I don't even count that. I mean running-a-fever-if-the-daycare-takes-his-temp-they-legally-have-to-send-him-home sick. Gah.

Bad Mom. I am relying on my son's generally good disposition to not tip them off.

Edited to add: apparently it worked. It is almost 4:30 and daycare hasn't called me to pick him up.
