Suddenly, she said: "That's it. You're going to time out". She swooped the blankets off a bench. "Sit there. 5 minutes"
Then she sat by my side. We sat silently. Then I asked: "Is my time up"? "No!"......I asked again..."No!"
Then I saw her problem and covered my face so she wouldn't see me laughing. SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO TELL TIME!!!
Finally, after asking her several more times, she said: "Go, just go. I don't care what you do"."
That story is soooo cute! I laughed today at work after reading it and laughed again tonight. Thanks for retelling it.
My girlfriend emailed me three jokes a day.
The construction workers didn't quite understand the hug therapy but they were pretty nice about it. :-)
P.S. Yeh...The construction guy thing is a bunch of bull. Damn!!
I've got a funny story about my youngest daughter. When she was 5 we all went to Vegas. That was during Vegas's "family friendly" period, pre "what happens in Vegas".
Anyway, we were eating in the buffet and she needed to go potty. So i took her to the bathroom. When she came out of the stall she looked like she'd seen a ghost. And i knew why. Her mouth was wide open and her eyes were as big as golf balls. She said "mommy, the toilet flushed all by itself!". I had to hold back my laughter cuz i was waiting to see what she'd do when she went to wash her hands and the water came out by itself. She put her hands under the faucet and sure enough the water came right out and she just jumped back from the sink. Another lady was in there and saw and heard everything and we both just started laughing hysterically.
We went back to our table to eat but i couldn't eat cuz i didn't stop laughing for a half hour.
She'd kill me if she knew i told this story. When she graduated 8th grade, the parents were asked to tell a story about their child and i SO wanted to tell that story and she begged me not to. I didn't. I regret it. But now i've told everyone!
