kidnapped!

every now and then, when a certain classmate of hers is mentioned, michelle says, 'mommy, you know my friend gra#$%, she was kidnapped when she was a baby and ms. #$^&& is not her real mommy.'

to be honest, when i first heard this, i was a little perplexed. what discussion was going on at school where a child's kidnapping would be brought up?  i didn't bother asking michelle's teacher about this because i thought, kidnapping is a pretty sensitive topic to bring up.  

yesterday, on our way to my aunt's house for our family get-together, michelle brings it up again.  'mommy, gra#$% was kidnapped when she was a baby and ms #$^&& is not her real mommy.' tired of hearing the same disturbing story, i replied to her, 'michelle, where did you hear this story?  are you sure she was kidnapped? that's not a very good story to be telling people, baby.'  she insists, 'no mommy, she really was kidnapped!  that's what she told me.'

and then it dawned on me.  the little girl wasn't kidnapped!

i was crackin' up after i realized what michelle was trying to say....

trying to put a straight face, i said, 'michelle, do you mean your friend was adopted?'

'YES, MOMMY!  that's the right word!!!!!' michelle screamed.

and that is our michelle-ism on christmas day.
