My dear friend, Aaron texted me today -- I love when I get unexpected texts.
Unless they feel like work.
I opened up his text and it read: “ummmm …. Did you forget you have a blog?”
First, no I did not forget (you passive aggressive smartass).
Second, thanks. You got a team of monkeys working around the clock on that one? (One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies, The Usual Suspects)
Third, I’ve been busy. REALLY. FREAKING. BUSY.
And (as Aaron also very astutely pointed out) blog posts need to just happen – you can’t force them. Aaron said, “I have no doubt that one of your kids (or your husband for that matter) will do something blog worthy in the next 24 hours.”
I was 5 minutes from picking up Little Man at preschool when I received that text (and, I don't know if Mother Paula's on S. Westnedge is looking to hire, but if so, Aaron's yer guy).
*Side note: I don’t wear a lot of jewelery, but today, I had on a cool new necklace and bracelet. Little Man was obsessed with them and kept saying he needed a necklace, or a bracelet.
Upon walking in the doors, the following conversation took place:
Ms. K (Preschool Director): Did Miss A. tell you what Little Man did today?
ME: Oh Lord. No. What?
** Now, before I continue, please click here and focus your attention on the blue “ring” of the diaper pail (and then come back), and the fact that the opening is not exactly round or circular (say, in the shape of a toddler’s head).
Ms. K: Well, when no one was looking, Little Man took the blue ring from the diaper pail, put it over his head and was walking all over with it just hanging around his neck.
ME: (there were no words. Just a look of disbelief on my face and likely some head shaking.)
Ms. K: Funniest part was, Miss A came to me and said that because of the shape of it, she couldn’t figure out how he got it on there, because it was NOT coming off easily at all.
ME: (still speechless and now envisioning what the whole scene must have looked)
Apparently, amidst all the laughter, one of the teachers suggested they just send him home that way. (She’s hilarious, btw.)
For the record – Miss A was, in fact, able to coax the blue ring from around his neck.
So, to my dear friend Aaron, you were right. Thanks. I think.

I can envision which adult said send him home that way!
Too funny. Love the accesorizing.
It was indeed the adult about whom you speak! :)
I say....get the kid a REAL necklace (safer) and might as well get a "little" man bag while you're at it!
Jason, when he was in a boys' dressing room when he was about five, yelled out to me, "Hey, Dad, what does F-U-C-K spell." I told him that it meant it was time to buy the clothes and go home.
Danger is not too far from the truth, is it?
