- Mommy's toy that isn't a mouse gets a rest
I'm more than positive that most of you are thinking, "huh?" when you read #10. I thought the same thing when Reagan mentioned it the other day. "Mommy's toy?" I asked. "What is mommy's toy?"
Reagan nodded her head emphatically and said, "it's not a mouse." I assured her that Mommy wouldn't ever play with a mouse. She smiled wisely and said, "that's what Daddy says. It's not a mouse." Well, boy, was I relieved to have that bit of information disseminated. Unfortunately, I was still unsure of what Mommy's Toy was. All I knew was that Reagan was happy that I cooked outside so that my toy could go night-night. Knowing that I wouldn't get much more out of her, I let the subject drop.
The next day, however, I decided to make simein for lunch. I put a pot of water on to boil. There must have been something stuck in the burner because a few minutes later the smoke detectors went off. Now, we don't have a vent hood, yet, and I'm sure my neighbors must think that I'm the worse cook ever because the stupid things go off at least twice a day. Mainly because they detect steam or heat or a whiff of something and then they start beeping. And of course, since they're all hard-wired into the house when one goes off, they all go off. Talk about waking up a baby!
Well, as I was saying, the smoke detector went off, and Reagan came running to me shouting, "Mommy! Your toy! Your toy! It's not a mouse, right?"
