I Really Damaged Her Today

Picture it, 9 a.m. and Katey and I are
desperately trying to get ready for preschool in 15 mins.
She's Dressed.
She's brushed her teeth.
I combed her hair.
Ran to Kourt's car with a baggie of cereal and a cup of juice.
In the midst of our chaos, I grabbed an "E" word show and tell.

When she returns from E-day, I inquire about preschool:
Kate (scowling)-It was fine. Except show and tell.
Me- What was wrong with what you took? Didn't it start with the letter of the day?
Kate~eyebrows drawn together - Yes. But all of the other kids took toys.

Pondering her look, I picture Show and Tell......

kid #1-This is my Elephant.
kid #2-This is my Elephant.
kid #3-This is my Elephant.
kid #4-This is my Elephant.
Kate's Cousin #5- These are my Elmo Books.
Prepare yourselves.
Kate #6-This is my Egg Slicer.
kid #7-This is my Elephant.
kid #8-This is my Elephant.
kid #9-This is my Elephant.
kid #10-This is my Elephant.

Kate back to me (with a sigh)-It wasn't a toy. Nobody knew what it was.
Me- Well, don't we like to cook.
Kate- I guess so. But it wasn't a toy.

We have show and tell for Tuesday ready to go.
I hope she forgets the mortification she is portraying at the age of 3.

Oh my heck, that is so funny! Of course, an egg slicer. Did her teacher know what it was? They did have "eggs and ham" for their food experiment. See, you were on the right wave length.

I can totally picture Kate! So funny.

I still laugh so hard I can't breathe, talk or do anything when I think about this. Next week don't send her with a spare tire for black day.
