Conversation Overheard in the Car Yesterday

Alex to Justin: "That is my school...it is where I am going to go to Kindergarten."
Justin to Alex: "Yeah, me too."
Alex to Justin: "No, it is not!" (Alex can be a bit of a know it all!)
Justin to Alex: "Yes, it is!"
Alex to Mommy: "Mommy, will Justin go to Kindergarten with me next year."
Mommy to Alex: "Unfortunately, no, Justin will have to go to a different school than you.
What a bummer, huh!?!" (I have become a pro at diffusing tension!)
Alex to Justin: "You know what? My mommy has to go back to college because she didn't do
very well the first time she went!"
Mommy to Alex: "What!?!?! Where did you hear that?"
Alex to All: "Daddy told me!"
Mommy to All: "I am only going back to take more classes not because I didn't do well!"

Mommy to Daddy on the Phone: "Did you tell Alex that I had to go back to college because I
didn't do well the first time?"
Daddy: EXTREME LAUGHTER

He claimed that he said it to Alex right in front of me the other night and that I wasn't paying attention when he was trying to make me mad!

Later last night...

Daddy to Uncle Jeff: "Do you know Alex told his friend Justin?"
Uncle Jeff: "No, what?"
Daddy to Uncle Jeff: "He told Justin that mommy has to go back to college because she didn't
do very well the first time."
Uncle Jeff: EXTREME LAUGHTER..."He remembered that you said that?"

I guess Uncle Jeff had been there for the original joke...

Moral of the story...

Don't tell Alex ANYTHING you don't want repeated regardless of whether or not it is a joke!! Who know who else he told this to? His preschool teachers? My future boss? The other moms on the field trip? I'll have you all know that I did awesome in college!!

LOL! That is hilarious!!! The things they pick up on. You should hear some of the lines I get at school and I just chuckle and think, "Oh the parents would be mortified if they knew their child just said that." I take everything they say with a grain of salt. Who knows what Holden will tell HIS teachers in a few years??
