As a kid, I was always amazed when my mom could tell if I was
up to something, even when she was in another room. I have cleverly inherited this genetic, and have magic eyes as well. J The magic eyes kick into high gear, the moment my house gets
quiet. A little TOO quiet!
Me: “K-aos! What are you doing?”
K-aos: “Nothing!”
I’ve learned that Nothing usually means Something.
And sure enough, if I go into the room where she’s hiding
out, she’ll be doing something that she probably shouldn’t be doing.
I have convinced her
over the last couple of years, that I have magic eyes in the back of my head, hiding
underneath my hair. She’s amazed that I can see her doing things, even when I’m
not looking in her direction! Quite often, she asks to see them, but I have
explained to her, that if I show them to her, they won’t work anymore. Now that
she’s 5, she’s doubted the factualness of my enchanting eyes…
Last week, I told her to go upstairs, get her jammies on and
go pee before bed. She was super-fast so I KNOW that she hadn’t gone to the
washroom. I said, “Remember! I have magic eyes! I know you didn’t go!” So she
goes to the bathroom again, and once more was a little too fast. She yells,
“Ok I peed!”
I knew what was going on right away; she was testing me to
see if my magic eyes were real! So, I say “K-aos! Do you really think my magic eyes would let me
down? You can’t trick them!” She gasps in amazement! “How did you know?”
What can I say? You can’t pull the wool over these eyes! Good ol' mother's intuition!
"Sometimes mother's eyes can still see what is going on even after their children have 'grown up'."
ReplyDeleteI read Tarot cards sometimes, so Bear thinks I have special powers. She doesn't mess with that. HA-HA-HA!
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally agree with Anonymous above. I'm pretty sure MY mother still knows what I am doing before I do!
