Duh, Mommy!
Am I the only one who has children who make her feel like she’s one of the dumbest people on Earth sometimes? It’s not intentional, but sometimes, when I’m just trying to engage them in conversation, I realize that they think that I have no intelligence whatsoever. If you could see the looks on their faces when we are having discussions, you would know what I mean.
D: Good morning, Mommy.
Me: Hi, Sweetie. Did you have sweet dreams?
D: Yes.
Me: You did? What did you dream about?
D: The car.
Me: What were you doing in the car?
D: Driving. The look on her face let me know that that was a dumb question. What else could she have possibly been doing, right?
