Daddy's Girl

Dear Miya,

Recently, after some post-dinner sounds and smells were emitted from your Dad, I accused him of smelling bad.  You hopped up on his lap, took a big sniff and said, "Mommy, Daddy doesn't stink.  He smells fresh".  If that's not true love, I'm not sure what is.

Love,
Mommy

I'm Too Young to be a Grandma!

Dear Miya,

A few nights ago you enthusiastically told us that you are "always pregnant with sushi".  Just so you know, I'm not ready to be a Grandma, even if it is just a food baby.

Love,
Mommy

Whisper Technique

Dear Rhys,

As you begin to learn how to express yourself verbally, it is my duty as your parent to provide you with some guidance.  You seem to be a bit of a close whisperer, a condition similar to the close talker of Seinfeld infamy.  In future, please keep in mind that it is unnecessary to press your nose and mouth against the nose and mouth of the person to whom you are whispering.   Generally speaking, humans hear through their ears, not their tonsils.

Love,
Mommy

  

Current Events

Dear Miya,

As you know, we often watch the news together as a family.  A few months back you were very concerned about a mother who had kidnapped her children triggering an Amber Alert.  I explained what an Amber Alert is and that some children have the misfortune of having unfit parents.  Armed with this knowledge, you began using it against me.  Please stop yelling "bad Mommy, Amber Alert" every time you disagree with my parenting, especially in public.

Love,
Mommy
