When Mama is hobbled by a slipped disc (feel free to leave me comments of sympathy), an afterschool double kid cuddle and lengthy Tale of Despereaux read-aloud session works curative wonders...perhaps surpassing those of hydrocodone. (Don't tell my doctor; I might want a refill.)Curious about their comprehension and attention to detail, and wanting to bring Double Daddy into the sensational story circle, here's last night's dinner table dialogue:
Mommy: "So why do you think it was that Miggery Sow couldn't hear very well?" [Both hands shoot up in the air. Great job, first grade teachers!] Sarah?"
Sarah: "She had too many clouts to the ear!"
Mommy: "Right! What is Roscuro the rat's nickname short for?" [Hands aloft, and waving] Darren?"
Darren: "Chiaroscuro!"
Mommy: "Correct! What did Miggery Sow's father trade her for? Sarah?"
Sarah: "A red tablecloth, a hen and a handful of cigarettes!"
Mommy: "Exactly right!"
Daddy: "What does Jerry Lewis say? [Squeals of laughter and hands shoot up] Darren?"
Mommy: "Correct! What did Miggery Sow's father trade her for? Sarah?"
Sarah: "A red tablecloth, a hen and a handful of cigarettes!"
Mommy: "Exactly right!"
Daddy: "What does Jerry Lewis say? [Squeals of laughter and hands shoot up] Darren?"
Darren: "Hey, LAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-DDDDYYYYYY!"

Hope the pain subsides permanently for you!
What smarties you have! That is amazing for 1st grade!!
Ryan always laughs at me when I make the kids say all kinds of things for him- it's like personal entertainment for me to hear them talking (and now talking back!).
So sorry about your pain...my shoulder has been killing me lately and I'm SO looking forward to the percocet I'll get after delivery...I know...BAD mommy! Your kids comprehension is REALLY impressive...especially great for listening!
Nothing heals a hurtin' back lot a reading circle.
That's what I always say.

Be on the lookout for an email from me later tonight....

I am so sorry about your poor back, but I think Daddy wins this round. How funny.
