Close Call
My husband and I picked my daughter up from preschool and had a particular incident that nearly ended tragically. She turns five in just three short months and I have no idea where the time has gone. Here’s what happened.
Last Wednesday her class had a “Mexican Feast” for lunch. Translation: Taco Bell kids meal. Being her mother’s daughter she didn’t really eat much of the lunch, but had a toy that came with it.
In the truck I was driving up to her brother’s school and her bonus daddy put together the toy. It was a bat with a button on the back to flap the wings. She’s pushing the button flying him around in the back seat as I’m driving up Rea Road a two lane, skinny, hilly road.
She says, “Mommy, the bat is flying. He’s using echolocation to find his food.”
I nearly put my SUV in a ditch!
My husband and I looked at each other in complete shock. Where did that come from? Evidently a combination of The Magic School Bus and a new computer program we had gotten for her brother’s sixth birthday. Let me remind you – she is four years old and knows what echolocation is.
I am still completely flabbergasted.
