MY BABY...NOT MY BABY!!!!!!


It's Friday. It's been awhile since I have felt this relieved to see a week come to an end.


Thanks to my lovely little driving infraction(s) back in July, I had to take the "Responsible Driver Workshop" today, or have my license suspended. It was a day that I was dreading..."hi, my name is Danielle, and I'm a speeder who was stupid enough to get caught speeding without a valid driver's license or registration...I am here to make amends..."


Needless to say that when today finished, I wanted to GO OUT!


As a side note here, abi attends a christian school. They don't acknowledge Halloween AT ALL. Instead of a Halloween party, they had a "Dress up like a farmer day" today...they get the party, they get the games, the candy, etc...they just dress like farmers and don't mention Halloween...


Now, back to my story...


So, as a family we decided to head out for super, go to the dollar store for snacks, head home and watch a movie. It was a date...and I was really looking forward to it.


We went out, had our meal, picked up our snacks and we were heading home having a great chat with abi, laughing, giggling...just having a great family time with our CHILD...WHO IS FIVE...FIVE!!!!


This is the conversation that rendered me absolutely speechless, with thoughts in my head of "OH DEAR GOD, HELP ME, WHAT DO I DO HERE???"...I don't know if God answered that thought or not:


Abi: "we had a contest today"

Mommy: "ya, what was it?"
Abi: "you had to put these stuffs in the pumpkins and whoever won got candy"

Daddy: "Did you win?"

Abi: "No, I didn't play that game, only Chantal and....and....and...um...hmmm...who was that guy I kissed?"

Daddy & Mommy: "WHAT?"

Abi: "oh, ya, Tristan"

Mommy: "hmldpll.....when...where....you WHAT?"

Daddy: "ABIGAIL...I a...um..."

Mommy: deep breaths, deep breaths.


I have no idea what happened between arriving at the house and getting into the house...it's a blur. I think we told her that she can't be kissing boys at school, not without mommy and daddy's permission. AND I think I may have told her she's not allowed to kiss until she is 30...NOT AT ALL EXTREME!!


When I calmed down, I asked her HOW she kissed the boy...dreading the answer, I was relieved when she gave a peck. I then asked her WHERE she kissed the boy...to which she replied "in the hole"...to which I replied "not allowed in the hole anymore"...I think I did, I know I thought it...I also know I thought that I will be calling her school on Monday morning to discuss this.


OI VAY! SHE IS FIVE! FIVE...NOT FIFTEEN...FIVE!!!!
