Speech Impediments
I have discovered a new speech impediment. It is Mama Tourettes. While this might sound like another of those wax museums, it is actually the random spouting of momisms in the general direction of their child. "Watch your fingers!" is most common in our house.
I'm missing the tip of one finger and i think that is the impetus for my particular syndrome. WATCH. YOUR. FINGERS!!!! We used to joke that we were just having a child so we might have replacement parts for ourselves. Richard's ankle is pretty bad and the aforementioned finger tip could come in handy. But I guess we have to wait for her to be full grown. i don't think her ankles will ever be big enough for richard. FACE! i can still have a finger tip though! HA!
Back to the tourettes, there are many things that pop out of my mouth that I thought only my mother said "that didn't hurt!" "no, you have to eat dinner first" "Get that out of your mouth" oh. well. Perhaps other mothers say that too? Sometimes it feels like I'm repeating the same rituals and dances that are done the world over and throughout history!
