Sometimes, the brutal honesty of children can be a little embarrassing, sometimes it can be a little hard to hear, and other times, it can be downright hilarious...
We were at swimming lessons this week which we have been attending for at least three years, so Sophie’s teacher is very familiar with our family. Out of nowhere, Sophie declares to her teacher “My Dad’s name is Mat. He had a-sectomy (vasectomy) because we don’t want any more babies! Just Elliott”. Naturally this was met with fits of laughter from the swimming teacher and other Mum’s while my cheeks flushed bright red!
Then there are the stories Sophie shares at Kindy. Nearly every week I’m having to explain some bizarre behaviour that she is engaging in and because she attends a Kindy attached to a very reputable private school, they are often quite shocked by the nutcase family that is ours J. A few months ago, I taught Sophie how to cleanse her chakras using some hand actions and a little prayer. I repeatedly told her this was only to be done at home otherwise people will probably think we are crazy. Sure enough though, I collected Sophie from Kindy one afternoon and I was met with a “please explain” from her teachers...you can imagine the challenge trying to clarify that one!!
Another thing Sophie is really good at is telling people what gifts we have bought for them. Even when they are just about to open their gift she will say something like “I’m not a-post (supposed) to tell you that we got you a cupcake carrier”. Spoiler alert!
So I have learnt this past year that nothing can be said in front of Sophie if is it to remain a secret and I can imagine it is only going to get worse from here! Enjoy your weekend guys and next week I promise I will elaborate a little more on the above mentioned chakra stuff J
