blasted teachers

I have sad news. For many years now, on particularly hard days, I have been putting Joy to bed early and ... stretching the truth about it being "bed-time". But it now appears that her DARNED teacher has gone and taught her to tell time. And tonight she said, "NO, mama, it isn't 8:00 yet!"

Damn those blasted teachers. Can't they teach her about ... I don't know, the birds and the bees, or something?

That is so funny. My daughter pointed out the same thing the other night. "Mommy why do you say its 8:00 when its only 7:52?"

Sheesh!

Darn those digital clocks too. They are so much easier to read.

It is nice to do the, "Mommy is not getting out of bed until the clock says 7-0-0."

I updated to a new blog by the way, it's linked here.
