Nanny Adventures

 A few days ago Kidlet #3 and I were upstairs working on homework.  I was in the study on the computer and he was at the table doing his work.  Then all of a sudden the music starts playing…yes that music…the ICE CREAM MAN is here!  

 Kidlet asks “Can I have some ice cream?”

Me: “Sure, but do you have any money?”

Kidlet: “Yes, I have like $60.”

Me: “Ok, go get it and get your shoes on, Will you buy me some too?”

Kidlet:  “Yes, what do you want a snoball?”

Me: “No I want  a push-up, Strawberry bar or an ice cream sandwich, thanks.”

Kidlet: (rushing out the door and down the steps) ” Ok, be right back”

I go back to the computer while he is getting the ice cream. I am trying to find his religion homework online.

Kidlet;” Back, I got you a giant ice cream sandwich”

Me: “Oh, wow, thank you.  Go put yours in the freezer for later after dinner.”

I start opening mine up 

Kidlet: “Ok”  goes back to doing his homework

As he is doing that I am printing out things from www.mypyramid.gov on food nutrition and the food pyramid for kids.  We are going to start on Monday healthy eating habits etc.   Side note: This site is awesome if you are looking for worksheets on getting your kids to eat healthier and just notice what they are eating.  I will be blogging about it later on.

Me: “Kidlet, this has 38 grams of carbs in this ice cream sandwich! This is horrible for you.”

Kidlet: “You don’t have to worry about that because you are not 40 yet.”

Me: ” Huh?” (very puzzled look on my face)

Kidlet: “Yeah, you aren’t at the”OMG, I have hit 40 and don’t have kids yet phase!” ”

Me: bursting out into laughter ” I am 35 and I do need to worry about my carb intake.  You can’t eat too many carbs in a day silly. ”

Moral:  Don’t worry about carbs till you hit 40 and don’t have kids.  Enjoy those giant ice cream sandwichs paid for by the kidlet till you are 39 and 364 days old.
