fibs

Miss Sass makes life exciting... 
sometimes the excitement is funny...or even makes a momma like me feel proud...
sometimes it's humbling...or embarrassing.....

i was reading a blog a few weeks ago and the writer noted (and not in a bad way) how she was seeing the sinful nature of her kids...and how it was a great time to teach her lil ones about Christ and forgiveness...  well, i see the sinful nature of myself, a lot....and i also see it in my kids...  and we're working on improving our behaviors, as well as using the moments to teach...

after church today (of all places *sigh*), i went to pick Sassy up from her Sunday School classroom.  the two teachers who were working this week are always so sweet...  K was excited to show me a picture of Tangled (Rapunzel)...  they informed me that they heard all about "Tangled" during their time together...  yes, i assured them that her unyielding love for Rapunzel was ever apparent in our lives, too... :)  and i may have said that with a little eye roll :)   

then one of the teachers mentioned that K shared her little sister's nickname today...  i kept my smile on my face and told them that, yes, we did have a nickname for Hannah...Bugs.  i'm not 100% how she came into that name...but we've called her Bugs since she was born...in a totally endearing way, of course... :)  i reiterated this story to the teachers...  but the one who started the nick name conversation says, "oh...well, she told us that you call her little sister "Little Booger."" 
i was kind of taken back for a few seconds... 
first, we don't even use the word "Booger" in our house...  i have used the word "Boogie," but we don't say booger...  and it's really not a BAD word, but it doesn't paint a very nice picture in my mind...we've never used it... :)  and, i'm not even sure where she picked up the word, "Booger," quite frankly...let alone how she was able to use it in a very entertaining(?) yet untrue story about nick names and her little sister...  (and yes, i'm sure that in 10 years, at the height of teenager-ness, i will be glad if a nice word like "booger" is used in name exchanges between the two of them (as compared to what could be used, i suppose) :o) )

so we talked about this, of course...albeit a pretty short conversation (this time).  I asked K if she even knew what a booger was...and she said, "No, but it's funny...."  and she concluded that this is why she said it...because "booger" is a funny word, or so she declared...  and then she went skipping away to see her daddy... 

looks like i know what we'll be working on this week...  :)  fibs.........
