The Common Mommy Denominator

I'm a Mom. I need adult conversation. I need to talk about the banalities and the excitements of life, and be understood by the masses. Most of all, I need feedback. Let's chat. You about yours, me about mine, us about ours. Let's find and discuss the Common Mommy Denominator.

Speaking of Kidstuff

Jason has been attempting to teach Tyler that ladies go first...mostly through doors.

This has proved a particularly trying concept for my sweet little man, who believes wholeheartedly in healthy (?) competition.

So Jason sweetened the Ladies' First deal: if the girls go first and the boys go last, the boys win!

Hey, you do whatchoo gotta do, ya know?

But there's something even MORE important to Tyler, we've realized, and that's coming in DEAD LAST. Why, you ask? The reason is simple:

The person who comes in last gets to Rot an Egg.

Yeah, I scratched my head too.

No, they're not the Rotten Egg, or at least not as far as Tyler is concerned. Instead, they Get to Rot an Egg.

We're not sure what that means, exactly, but apparently it's quite an honor.

Not that we've SEEN him rot an egg, or that we'd know what that would look like, aside from placing an egg outside in the sunshine and letting it, well, sit there for, well, ever...or at least until rotten. And that's not necessarily an appealing idea, particularly considering the fact that we live in a very confined space with very small and more or less enclosed "yards" of concrete. Opening a door might prove too potent for us to handle.

So we let Tyler "win" by letting the girls go first, and when he thinks about it, we also make sure he's the one who gets to rot an egg. Yay!...uh huh.

Kids!
