Momo Fali's: At Least My Back is Safe

At Least My Back is Safe

I was washing dishes when I looked over my shoulder to see my son tiptoeing across the kitchen floor, being careful to step into the middle of each tile while completely avoiding the grout.

I asked, "What are you doing, buddy?"

He replied, "I'm being careful not to step on any cracks, because I don't want to beat my mommy's butt."

Only your boy can mess something up completely and make it better than the original.

Is nothing sacred. Not even our childhood games. He is a funny little guy.

Even better, the lyrics to Devo's "Whip It!" still make sense! :)

Funny. My kids heard that rhyme and danced on every crack they saw.

Your back may be safe, but sounds like you are cruisin' for a bruisin'! Hope your butt remains unbeaten.

You have such a gift for telling a story well, with clever humor and wit.

Thanks for sharing your journey.

I've said it before but I'll say it again: Your kids and my kids together would slay us dead.

Awesome.

Thoughtful, kind, aware of his surroundings. What more could a proud mom ask for. *runs off unable to hold in the guffaw any longer*

That is very sweet of him. My kids are totally self-centered and walk anywhere they please. But believe you me, I will be having a long talk about their tile navigation.

That's one of those things where, for a moment, you're tempted to trace the phrase back to its origin. Then you think better, and just let it go.
