No Wonder....

Overheard at a play date in my house:

Kid one: "Remember that time that you were sitting on the stool and Jane came in."

Kid two: "Yeah."

Kid one: "No wait - you weren't sitting on the stool, you were sitting on the chair."

Kid two: "Oh that's right. It was the chair not the stool."

Kid one: "Why were you sitting on the stool?"

Kid two: "I wasn't sitting on the stool, I was sitting on the chair."

Kid one: "Oh that's right. (Pause) Why were you sitting on the chair?"

Kid two: "I dunno."

Kid one: "Remember that Jane came in?"

Kid two: "Yeah."

Kid one: "That was sooooo funny."

Kid two: "Yeah. That was soooo funny." (Lots of laughter.)

Kid one: "Remember that you had a ponytail and so did I."

Kid two: "Yeah, you had a ponytail with a purple hair tie and mine was pink."

Kid one "Yeah. Wait! Yours wasn't pink. Remember you had a blue one."

Kid two: "Oh yeah."

Kid one: "And Jane came in."

Kid two: "Yeah."

Kid one: "When was that?"

Kid two: "I dunno."


Is it any wonder, we moms sometimes find it hard to retain our sanity?
