Perplexing Adult Talk

Watch "Teach the children well ( with lyrics) - Crosby Stills" on YouTube

Good morning! It is a sunny, hot, end of the 5 day work week, school week and the very first Friday in September 2013.  Do you remember when you were a child wondering about adults and feeling especially perplexed about how they communicated?    I remember my Mom, trying to explain how she knew what we were up to, telling us she had eyes in the back of her head. I could not wait to grow up and be a Mom so I could have eyes in the back of my head. I was more than a little disappointed when I realized the 'eyes' she spoke of were metaphorical.   I think the worst was when I was in the middle of a group of ladies talking about how one of them had 'lost' their baby. I was horrified. How could we all be at this dinner party casually cooking and talking? I wanted to run right outside and start looking.  Why wasn't everyone looking for her lost baby and how in the world did she even lose her baby in the first place? When I burst into tears my Mom apologized and explained to me, in age appropriate language,about miscarriage. I cried again.
Gheez!  How will I ever learn all this stuff and why do adults have to talk so different anyway?  
I guess I did and adults still do.  So it goes. Have a happy, sunshine, funtime Friday. 

Thank you Heather for the pic of your beautiful daughter. Amazing how all that personality fits in such a small package!
