buzzkill betty

Biking home from pre-school yesterday I was sucking wind trying to ride up our big hill and was loosing ground to Marc and Harrison. When, out of nowhere, H turned back to look at me and yelled, “You can do it mommy!”

Which is cute as hell even without the knowledge that he has never before in his life said that phrase. But, knowing he plucked that phrase from his brain at the exact right moment and that it is not something that he is repeating from either of us – is so totally rad.

I told that story last night to a small group of unimpressed rollergirls. But, I should know better! Telling a story about your kid while donning body armor and a mouthguard… It’s a huge big buzz-kill. Sorry ladies – it won’t happen again.
