The saying, 'out of the mouth of babes' was definitely invented by someone with children who has experienced the impact of these blunt 'honesty' in our sugar-coated society.
I have resigned long ago to the fact that everyone at school would know the following facts within a week of contact with any of my children:
1. My mommy drinks looootttssss of coffee.
2. My mommy says the 'bad word' while driving
3. Mommy said we are all nice little munchkins that she is growing to one day eat us.
4. My mom cries when she's happy, sad, and angry.
5. Mommy's favorite place is the toilet.
The list goes on.
And while all the above statements sure are true, they are really not as bad as they sound. (Seriously, please...I'm begging you to believe me!)
This blog wouldn't be called a compilation of thoughts between coffee cups if I don't drink coffee...but hearing how my kids describe me never failed making me consider the coffee-anonymous. 'Hi, I'm Dian and I'm a coffeeholic'. I drink in average 3 cups of coffee a day. Except, when I have a looming deadline. Or except when I have just been up all night nursing a sick child...OK, now I'm starting to sound like a REAL addict busy making up excuses!
The bad word. Uhmmm...the extend of the bad word usually stops at the question of my fellow drivers' level of intelligence. And if you have never driven in Indonesia, I don't wanna hear your comments.
Appetite for little munchkins. What can I say? Their chubby little arms and legs seem to be just sooo yummy!
Cry baby. I.am.a.cry.baby.
Toilet-afficionado. Let me just say that I am never a toilet-person until I have children. My affection for the toilet can easily be replaced with closets, parked car, or anyplace that is quiet and affords me some alone-time.
Phuih...now I'm feeling so much better. You all now have the other side of the story and I don't have to fear your weird glances when I invite you over for dinner... What? No...no!!! Of course munchkin is not on the menu!
