HA! Too funny about blowing your nose in the pool Rebecca... some people just have no couth do they? brian said when he was swimming last winter there was a guy who did that and he said something along those lines (not NNNNNHHKKKK... HAWWWWWWWKKKKKK, but "Do you realize how disgusting that is?") and said the guy got all up in the air... "It's a chlorinated pool." ~!!!!!~ And brian was like, yeah, but we all still have to swim through it... when you suck water in while you're swimming do you like the THOUGHT of there being someone else's snot in your mouth, even if it is chlorinated? I don't know how that played out...
I love these early mornings where becca is in bed... she's either in bed or she's in her room with the door shut playing with the horses... we had a little talk with her a couple nights ago... the morning after we got back from Canada.... welll, backtrack a little... the NIGHT we got back from Canada brian and me went to bed and we were EXHAUSTED, and who would have known, but in the middle of the night we had one of those wake at the same time, roll in toward each other in the dark and arms around each other, kiss moments and the next thing you know he's climbing on top of me and mmmmmmmmmgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... anyway, we did it and we ain't apologizin', lmaaaaao... so the next morning about 6:30 the bedroom door opens and Becca comes in, doesn't say a word, just climbs up on the bed with us, and of course as soon as she gets under the sheets the first words out of her mouth are "You're naked. How come?" And I just said "that's how we sleep sometimes sweetie" and we all went back to sleep, it felt really nice, the two of us with her between us, if you'd looked down from above it would have looked like a heart with her in the middle... so we all slept till about 9;30 or so, and when becca got up she asked again "How come you two are naked?" And brian said "it's like your mom said, that's how we sleep sometimes" And becca said "don't you guys have pajamas?" And brian goes "We do honey but we took them off" "How come? Were you hot?" And brian said "I guess you could say that, yeah" lmaaaao, And becca caught it, she said "were you guys making love??" lmaaaaaao!! And here I am, masters in counseling psychology, thinking uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... but brian says "yeah we were becca." "how come you do that?" "because we love each other sweetie." "do you always do that when you're naked?" "no. just sometimes." she mainly just wanted to know if SHE could sleep naked, and i said "if you want sometime if it's not too cold" and then she said "can I make love too?" and brian said "sweetie that's something grownups do when they really love each other. kids don't do that." "how come?" and I could smell the smoke coming out of brian's ears for a sec, but he just took a breath and looked over at me "well... because thats something you do when you're married or when you're a grown up and you want to get married honey. it's something grownups do when they love another grownup a lot and they both want to. someday you can but not for a while." and she said "i have to wait for EVERYTHING." yeah but not long enough, lmaao.
But then a little bit later she said "does tony make love with rita?" and brian looked at me and said "I don't know, margo... does he?" lmaaaaao, the ASSHOLE... and I just said "I don't know honey... that's something that's really private and you don't ask people that, and I would never ask them, so i don't know. that wouldn't be polite." and she said "does aunt christy make love with marty?" which of course got us into the whole baby thing... don't worry, i just said "your daddy used to make love with aunt christy all the time," lmaaaaaaaaaaaaoo....
Brian said afterwards he felt all tripped up and didn't want to sound like some children's show on pbs ("Mommy and daddy love each other very very much, and when they REALLY love each other a lot, they make LOVVVVVVE SOUNDS..." god I'll never forget THAT video) but he did really good... i said "brian there's no way you can have that talk with your kid and not feel like you're saying totally idiotic things... I used to go through that all the time with tony... you did good." and he said "well next time feel free to jump in anytime you want," lmaaao.
So getting back to the point i started WAYYYY back, lmaaaao, we had a talk with becca thursday night and we said 'honey we're making a new rule in the house. when you come to a door and it's closed you have to knock first to see if it's ok to come in. that goes for everyone." and she went RIGHT to her room and closed the door, we knocked..."Who IIIIS it?" lmaaaao. So that's her new thing... she goes to her room and closes the door. all day yesterday... so again the point FINALLY is that she's probably in there playing with her horses waiting for one of us or both of us to knock on the door and ask her if we can come in. Which brian is doing right now... I love the way she goes "who IIIIIIS it?"
I'm so glad that you and maura are getting nice mom-daughter bonding time... that's the best thing in the world isn't it?? I know you guys have talked a lot of it out and like you said there's an understanding but still she probably will feel bad about it for a while... so MILK IT, lmaaaao.
I just heard Becca ask brian "Did you guys make love last night?" lmaao. I gently reminded her that that's a question you DON'T ASK and now the discussion is starting again, so I'm needed offline in the kitchen...sorry to get off so quick... hope you have a good day... I'll call later ok? Tell Maura and Marty hi.... xoxoxoxox me
