Katie often tells me, "you lied to me". Then she tells me something that I allegedly promised to do but failed to do and that is how I lied. Occasionally I am guilty. More often than not, I just haven't gotten around to delivering the so called promise...because it's only been about 10 seconds and I'm doing the laundry and washing the dishes and cooking dinner so give me a break already. And then there are times when she really made the whole thing up. So, I'm used to her calling me out on the real or imagined short-comings of my mothering techniques. Today's berating was especially entertaining though. She put on her stormtrooper helmet and sat next to me on the couch. Then she said, "you lied to me. You said you would get me juice and you didn't. You lied...and then she made the sound Darth Vader makes when he breathes. I was almost crying I was laughing so hard.
To the two readers following my blog, you may remember that Tommy is really into bees. He found this video on YouTube of 30 hornets wiping out a beehive of 30,000. It's a bit disturbing. Katie should probably call me out for allowing him to watch this video. Anyway, since he really likes bees, he finds the video very sad. So he told me today that he's going to invent armor for bees. He will put it on them when they are in the pupa stage so they will be protected right away. Then when the hornets try to bite them, they will be like, "huh?". What a tenderhearted, creative and funny little guy.

My 6 year old does the same thing to me, but she just says, "you promised... you said you would...." and sometimes it is completely made up. And she doesn't really say it, she tells me in dramatic tones.
Your son, if he should ever get into the gifted and talented program and they do an invention convention, he should have that be his invention because I tell you what, they don't go for practical inventions like inhailer locks. But if you invent the Star Treck Transporter, or maybe even Floo Powder, you don't even have to have a working model and it will go to the next level... and stuff like that. By the way, I have seen the video, it's asian wasps right? They look like robot wasps to me. Anyway, that is a great idea. I love it! That one is original and acutally sound practical- for the bees.
Oh, and thanks for mentioning me in your blog post. Am I reader one or two? Or maybe I am reader 3 that you forgot about? Ever since FB came into our lives, hardly anyone reads my blog either anymore. :)
But never has she pretended to be Darth Vader!! hahaha... that is an LOL moment.
