Let me see your teeth

I rarely chew gum. But I was chewing gum on Thursday when I picked Mallory up from school.

As I got her settled into her carseat, she demanded “LET ME SEE YOUR TEETH!” so I gave her a big grin.

Then she demanded “OPEN YOUR MOUTH!” so I tucked the gum up in my cheek and opened wide.

And then I realized that she wasn’t going to give up until I showed her my gum.

So I said “did you see my gum?” and then I showed it to her in my teeth.

That little stinker responded “You dum?”. I started cracking up as we started to drive away, but first I pulled up to where two of the daycare ladies were standing with the kids getting some fresh air.

I rolled Mallory’s window down and told her to tell them what Mommy has in her mouth.

Mallory yelled “MOMMY DUM!!”

Thanks.

I’m sure this is another example of where I should correct her speech but that is really, really hard to do when you are laughing.
