It's official

I'm an old mom. Today when my son, who is proud of his height and was standing on the couch, reaching the ceiling with his head, called out: "Mom, look, my head is touching the ceiling!" My instantaneous reply was: "You're getting the ceiling dirty!" Doh! What kind of remark is that?!? The strict old mom image may have gotten a crack by me starting to chuckle. The look on his face was too funny and his comment "Here I'm fishing for compliments about my height and what do I get? I get yelled at for getting the ceiling dirty." had me falling over laughing. Still, it's scary how you unintentionally morph into your own mother @_@
