Worth the Interruption

Toddler, knocks on bathroom door and then opens it before I can say, “Come in.” (or, “Privacy, please!”): Need help wiping, Mommy?

Thanks, but no thanks.

Me: That’s okay.

Door shuts.

Then opens again.

Toddler: I ‘fogot,’ Mommy. I ‘fogot’ to say, “I love you, Mommy.” I love you, Mommy. Good bye.

    So funny! That's one of those scenes you never could have possibly envisioned yourself in BEFORE you had children. :)

    I love it haha! Mine says "fogot" too. Usually it's "Mommy, I fogot sugar!" Then he grabs my keys and pretends to leave to go buy some.

    Oh, my. That made me laugh out loud. Kids are great!

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
