This morning she asks me, "Am I going to preschool today?"
"Yes, you are." I thought she already knew this.
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, I'm serious."
She's taking quite a bit of convincing.
"Are you joking?"
"No, I'm not joking."
Is this a joke?
"Mummy, have you been drunking?"
Drunking! This must be her truncated way of asking if I’ve been drinking so much that I'm drunk - and now I'm making up stories about her going to preschool.
"Darling, Mummy is rarely 'drunking' and especially not at 8am when I've just got out of the shower!"
But I do like this new word: drunking. In just one word it so neatly explains drinking to the point of being drunk.
I'm going to use it. It could take off.
"I'm so hangover because I was drunking last night"... "It wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been drunking"... "Let's go out drunking this weekend"...
I'm with you on the drunking, but did you find out why she was so confused/insistent about preschool? Crazy gal.
