No, I didn’t slap the kid…get yer head outta that space!<\/p>\n
Bean (Rhi’s nickname) and I were sitting in the orthopedic surgeon’s office the other day, waiting for him to come back in and discuss her Xrays with us. So, we’re bored and we started doing a whole poke thing we have going once in a while. She poked me, I poked her -vicious cycle.<\/p>\n
Finally, I tried to gross her out by pointing out the diagrams of the “skinned man” – you know, the musculature poster some docs have. Anyway, she didn’t fall for that, because they have “bony man” at school. *sigh* I start checking around for a magazine or book or something when suddenly she pipes up.<\/p>\n
“2006 is gonna go by fast Mom. It’s gonna go by like 2005. It’s gonna go by like a slap to the back of the head!”<\/p>\n
Needless to say, we both broke out in giggles. I don’t know where she got that, other than we occasionally joke about “Smack upside the head”…yes, we’re weird. She tells me she’s always wanted to say that.<\/p>\n
So, we settle down and continue on waiting. Suddenly, my head shoots forward and there’s this slight, tingling sensation at the back of it.<\/p>\n
She’d slapped the back of my head.<\/p>\n
“Just like that Mom!”<\/p>\n
Apparently, she’s always wanted to do THAT too. <\/p>\n
*sigh*<\/p>\n
I can’t wait until she gets her knee braces. Then she’ll get back to doing kid things again and leave me out of her range of silliness. I hope.. *worries*<\/p>\n
