You know, I am curious what Laurel says to other parents when she is at a play date. I found that Laurel is kind of a snitch. She thinks she can keep a secret but she tries to let pieces slip out here and there and the listener can catch her drift. I told her specifically not to tell Ching about my agreeing to get her ears pierced. He really wasn't part of the decision but I was going to try to convince him therefore lead him to believe that he was (part of the decision). He later came to me and said that he heard that Laurel's getting her ears pierced. Apparently she didn't tell him that I said that she could but rather I was going to talk to him to let him know of my decision. Jesus...same thing. If it's not spilling secrets, it's just telling random information.
As I picked up Laurel yesterday at her friend's house, she was telling the other mom about her upcoming fall lessons. The mom wanted to know where Laurel was going for gymnastics. She is taking gymnastics? News to me--I fessed up and said that I didn't know. (Apparently Ching told Laurel that she could take gymnastics.) Ching usually sets those things up. But this was a classic case of the right Wang not knowing what the left Wang is doing.
What else does she talk about?
How I swat Ching away like a fly when he is standing to close to me?
How I am usually so frantic in the morning that usually I am running around only partially dressed?
The fact that we have the starter potty in the family room for Rachel's sixth attempt? (Don't ask.)
That she and her sister are finally in bed every night at 9:00?
Her dad has a secret stash of pie in the freezer that's not so secret and her mom eats ice cream in bed.
The fact that I carry my phone everywhere because I am a Facebook lurker and a Candy Crush addict?
As I approach the door of her friend's house, I hope to God she doesn't.
