Remember my most embarrassing post that I wrote on Sunday? Yeah, well, I definitely have another "moment" to add to it.
And Mini Me?
He is at the center of my wanting to crawl in a hole, just so you know.
Again.
Yesterday, Mike and I had a conference with MrsSecondGradeTeacher and MrsSpeechTeacher. Thankfully, both teachers said that Mini Me was doing well and that he was not having any problems with academics, speech or his behavior.
At the end of the "official" part of the conference, Mini Me's speech teacher, MrsSpeechTeacher, told us that she had created a bulletin board for her classroom reflecting an "I wish..." statement for the holidays.
When she mentioned this, I started groaning because really, I had a bad feeling about where this was going.
And just so you know, anytime a teacher says "Mini Me is so cute" and then follows it up with the statement "your son wrote the funniest thing," I totally cringe. Experience has taught me that whatever that teacher is going to tell me, I will probably not want to hear.
Yeah.
So, MrsSpeechTeacher looked at Mini Me and said, "Do you want to tell your Mom and Dad what you wrote?"
Mini Me said nothing. He just gave her his famous "blank look."
Really, I could see the little wheels spinning in his head as he tried to buy some time and figure how this was all going to play out for him.
Again, MrsSpeechTeacher asked him if he wanted to tell Mike and I what he wished for. Mini Me just sat there and didn't say a word.
At that point, I was a little annoyed because he was being rude by not answering the teacher. Plus, in my head I was going through all the things he could have written about-such as wanting a million dollars in singles from Dad's work or something equally as mortifying.
So I said, "Mini Me, answer your teacher."
No response.
Me: "It's OK, just tell us. You won't get in trouble.We want to know what you wrote."
MrsSpeechTeacher asked Mini Me if he wanted her to tell us what he wrote as his wish. Mini Me finally nodded his head for her to go ahead and tell us.
MrsSpeechTeacher began by again explaining that most kids wrote that they wished for a Wii or an XBox 360, but Mini Me, had wished for something that was not materialistic.
I started to panic just a bit because really, Mini Me is very, shall we say, unique, in his thought process. At home, his little thought process has earned him the title "King of the one-liners," and knowing what I do about his sense of humor, I knew what he wrote was going to interesting to say the least.
His wish?
That Chewy, our psycho barking mutt (my words not his), would stop peeing in the house.
Yep.
And by the way? The floor stayed completely closed up and sealed tight, even though I was praying for it to open up.
Mike and I, we busted out laughing because it was funny and it was something that Mini Me would say. Even if it was a bit embarrassing. And then of course, I had to detail the whole dog peeing everywhere debacle and ended with how we had slapped a diaper on his butt to keep him from christening every surface of the house. Way too much information I'm sure, but whatever-just another day in life with Mini Me I guess.
So now that the King of the one-liners has taken his show to school, Mike and I will have to preface each conference with a question for Mini Me-is your teacher going to tell us anything that might make us laugh, mad or want to die from embarrassment?
Yep.
Can't wait for the next conference.
