Apparently My Absence is Permanent

May 8, 2009 by Amy

Last night Lexi had her spring program at school.  It was Scott’s one night to work this week while I’ve been gone so Mom took the girls.  Mom calls me after the program and retells a conversation with the teacher.

They’ve been working on Mother’s Day presents in school and the teacher told Lexi to take it to me or something and Lexi tells the teacher “My mommy doesn’t live at our house and she’s not coming back.”

I’ll just pause here and let it soak in what the teacher must have been thinking.  Neither Mommy or Daddy are at the program, Grandma has brought both kids and Lexi is insisting I’ve moved out.

OMG.

    Oh my! That reminds me of my 2 yo niece insisting my sister was hurting her when she was clearly not touching her. In a room full of people, she yells out “ow, you’re hurting me!” and Jenny’s holding her hands up like “What the heck are you talking about?” All because Jenny was in the seat my niece wanted to sit in herself, and she wanted to make her move.

    Not only that but when I asked her yesterday if she missed you I was told “no”. But when Scott asked about trading you in for a younger Mommy she refused. It’s so nice to know you’re loved. LOL
