Owen was in the bath tonight pegging me with questions about the soap bottles in the bathtub. There are 3 of them they are red, green and white. Cherry, Strawberry Kiwi and Coconut, I believe. (the cherry is his favorite). But of course I was looking up a bunch of stuff on the lap top at the same time so i wasn't really listening.
"Mom, what does green and red make?"
"What about White and green,"
"What about red and yellow... Mom, MOM! why aren't you answering??"
"Oh sorry," i muttered. "um, yellow and red make orange." (still distracted)
"What about Red and Green, mom... hey, mom, what about red and green!"
"Uh, brown or purple maybe," I toss out pathetically.
Come on, think harder. You're are a mom," he says. "you're really smart."
And then i remembered all the times the kids ask me how i know something and i say, "I'm a mom, I know everything."
I guess it sunk in.
For the record, Red and Green make a pretty nasty brown. I checked with our sharp new crayolas.
