(big breath) Well MY mommy....

I hate to toot my own horn... BUT.. when it comes to Eva's preschool... I am kinda like the

"Rock Star" of mommies....

I am like the "Pied Piper"... I enter the school & the kiddos. come. running.


I always thought it was because I speak English... all the little kids like to run up & count AS FAST AS THEY CAN..123456789Tennnnnnnn.

Now I am beginning to wonder if it isn't so much that I am American as with Eva's new thing...

(big breath)

Well MY mommy.....

seems my Eva is a little storyteller.

For the most part...I giggle a little, & enjoy hearing the stuff she comes up with... (I know she won't think I am a ROCK STAR much longer...so I might as well enjoy it while I can.

Some of the things little Eva has shared with the class over the past few months....

I am pregnant... & giving her a little brother.

I am a R E A L L Y great singer as she volunteered my for the adult choir...in fact I sing OPERA.

I don't speak or understand Norwegian...

(despite the fact that I speak Norwegian to EVERYONE except her...)

If the children go swimming & they start to drown...they shouldn't worry because I can save them... they can just climb on to my back..cause I swim JUST LIKE A DOLPHIN... ya know..I was a life guard for many many years... (Life guard thing TRUE...Dolphin thing notsomuch)

I am BEAUTIFUL...bless you child...bless you..

but My FAVORITE happened last week....

I went in to pick Eva up... the children gathered around as I was getting her coat on her... she begins to tell all of them..

(big breath) "Well, MY mommy is coming to school tomorrow... & we can all sit on her back while she slides down the hill on her BELLY... we can use her like a sled..."

about 4 little girls stood there with eyes as big as saucers...looking back & forth between Eva & myself.... back & forth...back & forth...

most times I let her little FIBS go.. (except for the baby brother thing) - but I started laughing & assured them that I would NOT be coming the next day to be used as a SLED....

...Oh bless....

Thank you baby girl for thinking that I KNOW & can do EVERYTHING.... when you get to be 15 & think I am dumber than a box of rocks... I will send you back to mommy's blog so you can see just how smart I really am. : ) Unless of course you are making these stories up because you are ALREADY ashamed of me... - crap - I didn't think of it that way....hrumph...

PS... no, that isn't really me on my BELLY...didn't want there to be any confusion... : )
