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.

Latham:  “I’m not small, RyRy.  I’m huge!”

Reichen:  “No.  You’re small, Latham.  But you do have a huge head.”

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

Reichen: “Daddy, I need to poop.  Hey, where is the potty seat?”

David:  “Your party seat?”

Reichen:  “No, Daddy.  POTTY seat!  But it’s like a party when I poop.  Shut the door, please.”

Reichen:  “It’s just some old lady.”

What my 3 year old blurted as my mother-in-law opened the door to my realtor who stopped by to drop off some paperwork.  Yes, she heard it.  And no, I wasn’t there.  Thank goodness.

Reichen:   “Mommy?”

Me:   “Yes, baby?”

Reichen:  “When is Daddy coming home?”

Me:  “I don’t know.  After work, like usual, I guess.  Why?”

Reichen:  “Because you are going to be in so much trouble when I tell Daddy you made me sit in time out.”

What my 3 year old said after a stint in time out for biting his brother.
