Mommy School

You know how kids are always asking, "why?" and how that drives parents crazy? I thought I was doing pretty good on that one until Hannah started asking me how I know things. Like how do I know the Tooth Fairy is going to leave her money for her tooth and how do I know that green beans are good for her body. Because I just know!!! That didn't seem to be a good enough answer for her. So, I did what any good parent would do, I lied.
Now when she asks me how I know something, I tell her I learned it at Mommy School. There's a Daddy School too and you have to attend them before you can have kids. It's even gotten to the point where when I tell her something she asks me if I learned it at Mommy School.
I wish there really was a Mommy School because I could use the instruction, but for now I wing it.
Don't blow it for me though and fess to my kids about it.
Thanks

Mommy school! You're a genius. Isn't it great when they ask you their very hardest question and can't believe you know the answer? They almost believe that you're magic.

I know all about the Mommy School cause I'm the Mommy that taught you.

I want to go to this "Mommy school" that you speak of...how do I sign up? I don't feel smart anymore, and I've only had one child.
