Overheard

December 20, 2010 by becca

Kid 1 (15) Kid 3 (9) and Kid 4 (7) are playing with the dollhouse in the basement. This is, naturally, because I planned to give it away for Christmas. It hasn’t been played with for years, maybe. But as soon as I decide to donate it, it becomes once again Beloved.

Anyway. Kid 4 was telling me about his “family” – the FisherPrice doll people he’s in charge of.

Him: They thought the didn’t have a dad anymore, but they do. He’s just sluffing Family Reunion.

Kid 3, kinda snarky-like and under her breath: Like Dad.

Kid 1 and Me, perfectly in synch: Dad did NOT sluff family reunion.

Kid 4: But he wanted to.

This is, once again, what passes for Function around here.

    There’s a Mom at our house that would like to function similarly.

    PS Snarky is highly under-rated. Just used my “snark factor 5” to get someone to do something they didn’t want to.

    I’ve sluffed plenty of family reunions. I regret nothing.

    Cute! Maybe this is why therapists use dolls for kids to express real feelings. 🙂

    If I *could* sluff more family reunions, I would have. Sadly, they know where I live and they have my number on speed dial. Afghani caves are looking better every day.
