another one bites the dust & A funny ?

Yep another lost tooth for miss mats. So far, 5 teeth have bit the dust. Madison knocked this one out all by herself..... on accident of course!! No one is ALLOWED to touch her loose teeth. She was playing and bumped her lip on something and out popped her tooth and fell into her hand. She came to tell us with a mouth full of blood trying to talk but couldn't. She was so happy that it finally came out. It had been loose for weeks and every night her Dad would pester her about pulling it. I would be extremely happy too!

Davin asks me this question(i hope it doesn't offend anyone), "Why do some people have BiG bottoms?" I was caught off guard and wanted to laugh out loud! He was dead serious and wanted to understand. I had to use the opportunity for a little compliment I hoped and i asked, "Does Mommy have a BiG bottom???" He gave me the answer I wanted. Funny guy. I LoVe his curiosity.

Here's a liTTle story about.....

A Little lady who happens to be a Mommy and who was caught breaking the law....

I was driving over the speed limit, of course, when I spotted one of those cars with liGhts on the roof top hidden down a street that i was just about to pass. I quickly pushed on the brake, but knew immediately that I was caught.... BUSTED! He inched forward and then pulled behind me.

As I passed him, I said to the chitlins " the policeman is going to pull me over". Davin asked, "why???". I responded with the truth, " Mom was speeding". WHy were you speeding??", he questions.

Davin is my child that asks a lot of questions because of his curiosity. We have had many conversations in the car when we see policeman in our neighborhood monitoring speed. I have explained to him about the laws about speeding and that we get a ticket if we disobey. He was shocked that his Mom would disobey. ShaMe on Me..

Anyways, He pulled me over and asked for my DL and info and I obliged. Silly Blane has unbuckled the top of his car seat buckle(which he does often as we are driving) and leans forward and says "Hi, heheheh" to the officer. I glance back at him and notice his belt unbuckled. So I decided to ask the policeman to tell Blane that he needs to stay buckeled while we are driving in the car. So he politely tells Blane to stay buckled in the car. Blane eagerly said, "okay" and began buckeling back up again. He totally did not hesitate! WoW, I think to myself........THaT was FuN!

the officer looks over my stuff and tells me that I was going 61 in a 45.... OOOOPS. I didn't try to argue with it because i knew I was going fast, whatever I thought. He then said what was music to my ears, "I am not going to give you a ticket today, just slow down". He made my day! I then told him how much my kids LoVe Policemen and he gave me little badge stickers for the three big kids.

This was such a neat experience for All of Us.
