Both are inappropriate, but that is a bonus as I see it. One) I brought some tortillas downstairs for movie night and Hope looks at me with furrowed brow and says, "where's the dip?" -- how dare I try and satisfy her snack craving with plain old tortilla chips. So, being a neglectful parent, I insisted she choke down the chips dry. Undaunted, she pointed to a minuscule stain on our antique - 100 year old chest that serves as our ottoman, "I want this dip." Sure enough, upon further inspection, this was a drop of cheese dip from who knows when. Embarrassing, but true.
Two) Emma now has homework. Her assignment was to cut out items beginning with the letter of the day and glue on a sheet, last night it was E. Well, we got a picture of Emma, and she drew an Elephant, now it got tricky. Scouring through magazines, I was messing with Kate and cut out a Viagra ad and, with Emmas attention focused on the TV, flipped Ma the cut-out ad and said, here's one -- erection. Well, Emma now "practiced" this new word several times, one I was sure she didn't hear. Oh well, Ma got her convinced I said "Election," so crisis averted. Unless she speaks up in class today....to be continued.
