Basic Mom Week in Review - 03/12/17

5 Things That Actually Happened This Week and the Lessons I Learned

1. My parents kept my 3-year-old occupied while I was cleaning up the kitchen after dinner by playing fetch with her.

Lesson: A pet would just be redundant in my house.

2. This conversation between my 3-year-old and her uncle:

3-Year-Old: I'm Batman. You can be Robin.

Uncle: Okay. Who's Robin?

3-Year-Old: Um, Batman's kid.

Lesson: I'll let Batman take this one . . .

Tenor

3. I asked my 3-year-old to set the table for dinner.

Lesson: She probably won't be working for Food & Wine anytime soon (unless deconstructed tablescapes come into fashion).

4. I went to put away some blankets and was surprised by a couple Polly Pocket heads staring up at me.

Lesson: My kids aren't very good at hiding evidence.

5. My 3-year-old asked if she could find something to watch on Netflix all by herself. This is the screen she arrived at after about 30 seconds with the Roku remote:

Lesson: Well, this explains the beheaded Polly Pockets.
