A bright, sunny ,lazy Sunday afternoon.
I was driving and humming, with my daughter T and her friend N sitting and chatting away in the backseat.I let their constant chatter wash me over and continued driving and humming. Suddenly, got interested when I heard T say.."At least One we should get."
I turned and smiled, “ What do you want T?”
T ,smiling beatifically, "A fracture Mamma.”
"Fracture? Are you mad?"
N :"Aunty ,it is sooo cool.”
"Cool? A fracture? It`s painful!”
T and N both insisted that it was more cool than painful.
"Mamma When I get a fracture , I will get a plaster. And then All my friends are going to write on it. And N will stick that Barbie sticker for me and she will even draw smileys, and a butterfly too!"
N " Ya, I will. And if I get it first, then T will do it for me.I want it on my leg."
T : ' Hmm. I prefer the arm."
N: "And you know Aunty ,my brother is getting braces."
T :"So lucky na? I wish I would get them. Mamma ,don`t you think I need at least plates? See this tooth. Its all crooked.”
"So?”
"Please Mamma ,can I get braces. Please. I want the blue ones."
N : "No don`t take blue. Take green or pink. My brother is getting Blue. My mamma says I can`t get them because theres Nothing wrong with my tooth!"
I glanced through the rear view mirror and saw two long faces!
So unhappy that they have perfect teeth and No broken limbs.
The pressure of being uncool is getting on. Sigh!

Lol! I love girls this age and the way they talk. Imagine, that's all they're concerned about. They don't know yet how cool that is!
My my! Little girls. Wanten broken limbs and crooked teeth to add the coolness quotient. Childhood is so innocent. :)
Lol! i used to think the same way!! ur daughter is adorable! im pretty sure she will grow out of it soon.. :)
:) so cute!
After Harry Potter became a sensation, a lot of kids I used to meet asked me if they could try on my specs and I would seriously wonder what was wrong with them .... I've been stuck with specs since the age of 13 & there's nothing fun or cool about them :-S
I tagged you, btw :D
:D :D Kids...they say the funniest things :) And we get a glimpse of that innocence that we've all seemed to have lost... :) Hugs :)

Thats so cute. Kids are so funny at times, we forget we were like them too...
write something what you did too, at their age.
omg! This takes me back to kiddie days when the coolest thing ever was coming to school (after a couple of days home resting) with a white cast on one's arm that all of your classmates would crowd around to sign. I really remember feeling envious.
Ahhh youth.
