After I finished most of my usual, I laid on the bed to watch a movie on Lifetime yesterday. Miss H was extremely tired from riding her bike. We all were. I tried to convince her to take a nap until dinner was ready. I thought by laying with her she would fall asleep. I started dozing off. She slid off the side of the bed and was on the floor. She's bringing Dad's(Bryan's, her dad not mine)(people get confused) birthday card back in the room that we had already sealed up in the envelope, trying to open and I'm telling her no. It will ruin the seal.
Sobbing, "But Mom, I have to put something special inside of it."
"We will get another envelope and put it inside of that one."
She wouldn't tell me what the something special was. I just figured another drawing she did for him. I'm tired and don't feel like arguing with a whine baby, so I just open that envelope and tell her to take care of her business. Leave me alone now. She's over on the floor, fiddling. After about 10 minutes or so, Bry comes into the bedroom. She's finally laying with me. He goes to his side of the bed and looks on his night stand, in his photo storage thing where he keeps his change.
"Vic, where's my money."
"What money. Like I know."
"You took the $100." "I need it for gas."
"What the hell would I take your money for. I don't need it."
The look on Hannah's face was fear. Almost so much there were tears. I look at Bry, he looks at me and we bust out laughing.
I just figured out what she needed to put into his birthday card. $100. Mind you, there were dollar bills lying in there too but she took the big bucks.
"Is that what you put in daddy's card?"
Complete and utterly silence. Staring at me like, is this okay mommy. I knew she didn't want to say anything because it's supposed to be a SURPRISE. Without her saying anything, we knew, grinned, smiled and laughed. "It's okay big girl."
Finally she asked if he wanted it back. He said no, allowing her to feel good about giving him something other than a drawing.
I had no idea money was even over there. I don't need it. I pay no attention. I let him handle getting gas, etc, etc....
These kids are clever.
What'd you get for your Birthday B. Oh, just a hundred bucks from myself. Hahahahahahahahahaha(:

Hilarious. Kids are all about money. My stepdaughter asked me once before her dad and I were married why I pay for things sometimes. I told her it wasn't fair for him to pay for everything and she said, all serious: "That's nice, but I'd like to keep my money. I think when I date, I'll let him pay for everything." I just laughed. Smart girl!
Smart indeed....hahaha
I knew it! Well, not really...but I was thinking she put allowance or something in there. What a sweet and most generous girl you've got. I know you're proud:)
hahaha adorable!
