Guest Entry: Erica’s Kids
It’s Christmas Eve, after church, but before dinner, and the
kids were supposed to be changing their clothes. They were
mostly eating the nearly-burned cookies (how they got burned is
a whole ‘nother story).
Tristan: Shannon! There’s a hole in your mouth!
Shannon: Really?
T: You lost your tooth!
S: I did? I did!
Me: Well, honey, where is it?
S: Gone.
Me: What do you mean ‘gone?‘
S: It’s gone.
Me: Did you swallow it?
S: Nope. It’s just gone.
Me: Well, we need to find it so we can leave it for the tooth
fairy.
The kids scrambled around and found it on her bedroom floor.
S: Oh! I bit into my cookie and felt something hard, so I spit
it out. I thought it was a rock. (all very matter-of-fact.
Guess I bake rocks into the cookies all the time, especially
those break-n-bake cookies!)
