Imagine the scene...
Daughter #3 finally has me to herself for a fifteen minute car ride.
"Mom," she says with a nice long pause for effect, "my butt hurts when I write."

I start with a simple question. "Did it happen today?"
"Yes. At school."
It was starting to come together. We had been really working on her writing all year. I even started a second grade writing club that met at my house every Tuesday after school. My baby was finally loving writing so much that she actually was sitting still too long enjoying it.
"I'm so sorry your butt hurts when you write, honey. You should take a break every now and again and move around and then go back to writing." Such a proud Mama moment.
Until...
"Mom!" You can imagine it, right? A long and drawn-out Mom--a one syllable word made into three or four. "I said, "My butt hurts when I wipe!"

Ouch! My but hurts too when I write for hours on end :-)
LOL! That was so funny! I'm seriously laughing so hard right now. :D
hahahaha
Total mom moment. :P
Thanks for visiting my blog and supporting Carol. :)
Haha - I guess that shows that we can hear what we want - maybe it is reflective that your poor butt is hurting from all the writing you are doing. ;) Maddie is too funny. Cute story! :)
Hahaha!
Make sure she writes from front to back. Might help.
I'm glad I swallowed my coffee before I read the last paragraph :)
Great meeting you at Melissa's blog today.
Oh, this made me laugh. After reading the title I had no idea where it might go. Too cute!
Tia, you're trying hurt people with laughter aren't you? *JK* I can so picture that sort of thing with my son... Thanks for the giggles!
I was ROFL when I read the end. I hate it when I go on and on about what I thought I heard, only to have it be no where near what they said :) Great post, Tia! WRITE ON!
I knew my writer friends would appreciate this story. Glad you all enjoyed it!!
