So I'm deciding if I'm a really bad mom for laughing really hard or if I'm just a regular human being for laughing really hard?? Laughing at what you ask?? Well, Sunday morning we awake to completely iced over roads. So we are getting in the van to go to church and I back out of the garage, down the driveway and into the street. So far so good!! I take my foot off the brake and start moving forward except the van is moving sideways right for the very large snow bank of snow at the end of our driveway!! YIKES!! I'm just slightly nervous thinking, "If I can't get down the street, we are not going to church!" And then the girls realize that the van is moving in an odd fashion (not too often we drive sideways). So finally we make it to the main road and it's much better, but still I am being cautious. . . . The girls start their back and forth one uping each other and I ask them as "calmly as I can" to please be quiet because I'm trying to concentrate on driving. . . Of course Kidist has to start asking, "Why? We always talk in the car when you are driving." I attempt to tell them that I am concentrating really really hard on driving. Really their 'blah blah' noises are making me crazy at this particular moment and I just need to drive in quiet . . .and for anyone who has kids, you know what I mean.
Anyway, we finally arrive to church and I park in the lower lot thinking it's probably pretty slippery getting to the upper parking lot. We all exit the car and Bayat has my right hand as we start walking.
So get ready!!
Kidist steps out of the car and finally understands what I mean by slippery and icy and begins screaming at the top of her lungs because she is scared!! I found this to be absolutely hilarious!! I knew she would be ok, and she didn't fall, she just screamed with her hands up at her sides as if she were walking a tight rope all the way through the parking lot, "MOMMY, MOMMMMMMYYYYY, MMMMOOOOMMMMMMYY" You get it. Both Bayat and I are laughing because we are also sliding around the parking lot. We get into church and she runs to Bond crying and says that mommy and Bayat are laughing all the way. . . . . So this is my pondering question for the day. Am I a bad mom for laughing at my daughter as she slides across the parking lot, or am I just totally human for thinking it was funny?? I think I'm human for thinking it was really funny. My bet is that if I were able to video it, Kidist would look back and think it was pretty funny too!
