Tummyache

MOMMY:
You were supposed to be napping.  You came out and said you had an upset stomach.  It was about an hour before we needed to leave for Tae Kwon Do and I was thinking it was maybe just gas.  I told you that I though you were just going to fart a big fart and feel better.  I tried to get you to drink water and tried to teach you the fetal position to help you get more comfortable.  I figured you weren't going to be able to go to Tae Kwon Do because you seemed to be really uncomfortable.

I got you to take a warm bath.  This seemed to help.  You stopped complaining and were moving normally.  There was time to get ready for Tae Kwon Do, so I had you get ready.

We were driving to class and I noticed you looked to be falling asleep. I heard you sort of cough so I figured I'd ask you a question to try to keep you awake for Tae Kwon Do.  You answered the question and then I watched you throw up all down the front of yourself.  I quickly pulled over and you said, "Look, vegetables." You proceeded to point out that I was incorrect by saying, "You said I would fart, but I threw up." You didn't quite understand that you couldn't go to class or our playdate with Ellie after and you looked at your dirty uniform and said, "I wonder what Master Carla will say." 

You were fine after a nap.  Sometimes you randomly throw-up or spit-up and then you're fine.

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION 4 CHILDREN

>>> Always & Never DADDY: "Sarah, you didn't put those folders away correctly. You knocked over ALL of the African animal toys." SARAH: "I did not knock over ALL of them." DADDY: "You're right. You didn't knock over ALL of them. You knocked over a lot of them."

Steve's Uvula

Uncle Steve:

 

On June 16, 2012 I went with you, G-momo and Guffaw to the Angels game.  I was sitting next to you in the car on the way and asked what is in my throat and opened my mouth...

 

Sarah: "Nothing." 

Steve: "Is there something hanging in there?" 

Sarah: (looks in my mouth and starts giggling)

Steve: "What is it?" 

Sarah: "It looks like a penis." 

Sarah, news radio and unemployment

Guffaw:  

You are apparently listening to the news and you must find it interesting.  This past Wednesday, I picked you up to babysit you and your sister while your Mommy and Daddy went on their date night.  When I started the car the radio came back on.  I had been listening to a news channel and it happened to be the time when the sports news came on so I listened to the sports scores and then turned it off so we could talk.  After a little while you asked me to turn the radio back on.  I asked what you wanted to listen to and you said the news.  You said you wanted to hear the sports news.

You are also picking up on topics discussed in the news, which recently has been reporting on our current tough economic times.  Later that same Wednesday evening you had this discussion with G-Momo and me:

Sarah: "I lost part of my job the other day." 
Guffaw: "You lost your job?  What job was that?"
Sarah:  "I lost part of my job."
Guffaw: "What part of your job did you lose?"
Sarah:  "The money part, but later I found it. It was behind the door."
