The 7 Faces of Dr. K
(OK, well, it’s really only 6….)
K really likes the goofy webcam software that came on my netbook. I’m pretty sure this could entertain her for hours…but I’m left feeling slightly…guilty, like, shouldn’t she just go dress up for real? Oh well. Bonus points for anyone that understands the movie reference in the post title!!
It Was Pretty Funny at 4am
Setting: In bed at 4am, K had just woken up and come in to our room for sleep n snuggle time.
CM: goodnight K, I love you.
K: goodnight Mom.
a few moments of silence…
and then an enormously loud series of farts.
CM: OMG, was that your daughter?!
FF: yep!
CM: whoa!
a few moments of silence
K (pipes up in a quiet little voice): excuse me.
CM: (cracking up laughing)
K: I just had a little gas. Well, I just had about 100 pounds of gas. Excuse me.
Big Stepping Underpants
setting: in our bedroom, in the late afternoon, FF and K came to get me up from a nap. I’d been burning the 4am oil most of the week finishing assorted homework projects.
FF and I were chatting about random things like dinner, groceries, etc while K ran around playing and giggling and bouncing, as she usually does. All of a sudden, she grabbed my hand and pulled it to her leg and said:
“Mom, my big stepping underpants are broken. You have to fix them! here is the switch.” (as she pointed to a spot on her hip)
Apparently that was my cue to take out my imaginary tools and fix her big-stepping underpants. Once I successfully “fixed” them, she proceeded to start big-stepping her way across me on the bed, and then onto the floor and out of the room. It was something like a straight-legged band march, equal parts cute and absurd.
The next trip into the bedroom, I had to fix her underpants again (I was expert by that time) but apparently when she was in the other room, she requisitioned a pair for me too and I had to “put them on and go big-stepping with her”. At that point, I only felt it appropriate to myself magically produce a pair of big stepping underpants for FF and share the love. He grumbled.
But we all big-stepped our way into the living room with great gravity. Nap over.
