Today I’m thankful for the kids waiting at home for me. One of my VERY favorite things is listening to their stories. Little bits from their day. The good. The bad. And the funny. The conversation always starts out with something like, “how was your day? Great. How was yours. Fabulous.” But when you REALLY listen. And watch them – and do a little digging, you get the real dirt.
With Kelsey, it’s never been hard to get the dirt. Today she just offered it up. I actually think she was waiting for me to get home so she could tell me about a certain boy.
Everyday after school, Kelsey heads to the Y to work out. She’s dedicated. Works out for hours. Sounds impressive, right. And, you probably guessed it. The “hotties” tend to show everyday from 3:30 – 5:30.
According to Kelsey, some boys were checking her out today. “Mom, this boy came up to me and said, see that guy over there. He thinks you’re hot and wants your number.”
And I asked, “well, what you’d you say?”
She explained, “I said, How old are you? And he said 12. And then I said, And how old is your friend? And he said. 12.”
Love it! It reminds me of the time a youngster gave me the ‘how you doin’ in the store. It was a couple of years ago and I think he was about the same age. Love the new KirtyHoo look! NHB
