Reichen:  “Daddy, you’re bald.”

David:  “I am?  Do you know what ‘bald’ means?”

Reichen:  “It means you don’t have any hair.”

David:  “Does everybody go bald?”

Reichen:  “No – just daddies.”

The matter of fact conversation I overheard at breakfast this morning between David and Reichen.

Ms. Joy:  “Reichen, let’s welcome your mom as today’s preschool mystery reader.  Can you introduce her to everyone?”

Reichen:  “Her name is mommy.”

Ms. Joy:  “Yes, she’s  your mommy.  But she’s not our mommy.  What’s her name?  What does your daddy call her?

Reichen:  “My daddy calls her Sunk.”

Me:  “Oh, sorry.  That’s a nickname David calls me.”

Ms. Joy:  “Oh.  Reichen what’s your mom’s name?  What name does your dad call her?”

Reichen:  “Darlin’?”

Ms. Joy:  “No, Reichen.  What’s your mom’s name?  What name does your dad call her?”

Reichen:  “Bubbers?”

Me:  “Um, sorry.  David rarely, if ever, calls me by my actual name.  Reichen, can you tell all your friends my name is Tasha?”

The incredibly embarassing conversation that happened at Reichen’s preschool this morning.  And if I wouldn’t have stopped it, it could have gone on forever.  David has a million nicknames for me.  A million of them.

Reichen:  “You look so beautiful, Mommy.”

The five most precious words my 4 year old has ever said.  Ever.   (I mean, I’m pretty sure it was just a coincidence that he said it as he was begging me to buy him a matchbox car from Target that he really, really, really wanted.  I think he totally meant it, don’t you?  I do.  And that’s all that matters.)

Latham:  “Whoa, Mommy!   It stinks in here!”

Me:   “Yeah, buddy.  You tooted a smelly one.”

Latham:  “No, I didn’t toot.  Daddy did!”

I totally would have bought the tooting tale my two year old toddler told me except for the one little hole in his story - Daddy was at work.

The car conversation I overheard between my two boys on the drive home tonight.
