I thought I was going to go through the whole day with nothing to blog about. My second day back at the reigns and I thought I'd ran dry. Just when I was ready to doubt that I had a creative outlet I sent Luke outside to fetch the mail.
He returned with a bill and package. He designated the package for me by the purple box and white flowers, and then excitedly ordered me to open my present.
What I opened turned out to be a sample pack of overnight Kotex pads. Oh my. Luke was still excited and confused. "What are those, mommy? Can we open them? Are they for me? Can I have those? Who got those for you?" Without getting over my head (or his) I explained that Target sent them (I love Target), that they were for mommies, and that no, he couldn't have them. What ensued was a twenty minute discussion of "why mom" that I thought wouldn't start until Luke was at least four. His curiosity getting the best of him, I compromised my end of the bargain, which was hiding the blushing mailbox samples deep in some closet that only women can get to, and I let him carry the box around for awhile, because hey, it's a present, right?
I suppose all of my gushing over my favorite products got me on a few mailing lists. Hey, I'm not complaining, I just know my boy, and I don't want him ending up like this. (To which, upon inspection, Luke proclaimed, "Oh no, he has bandaids all over him. Look at his ouies!")

Mal..I am laughing so hard tears are coming down. All the kids here are wondering what is going on with mimi...I can hear Luke's little distinctive voice in my head asking you all those questions. How funny.
Mom S
HaHa! Of course, with luke it's more like, "Vat's dat for? Vat ez dis?"
I sent him out to get the mail so
I could call you. Who knew the fun waiting for me once I got off the phone!
ROFLOL That is soo funny. I have the same conversations with my DD who is 4, and is MOST persistent with her questions. And, totally agree, Kotex is the best.
