Kiss and Tell
Moanna, “Mommy! I kissed a boy at the club (the gym) in the kids center!”
Me, “Oh yea?”
Moanna, “Yea! We kissed because we were boyfriend and girlfriend.”
Me, “Huh? That’s nice.”
Now, I haven’t decided if I’m freaked out because she’s all of three and kissed a boy because he was her “boyfriend,” OR because she had no problem what-so-ever telling me about her escapades and our mother-daughter relationship is going to be a TMI relationship.

Nic has always violated the TMI rule! Egads, what a mom doesnt’ need to know about what her son is up to! That said, it speaks volumes about our relationship with our kids when they feel they can comfortably brag about accomplishments, admit their screw ups and fears and share all the moments in life that define what makes them become who they become. Just put your game face on…
I’m thankful for the open relationship, but there are somethings that game faces don’t stand a chance at
Trust me, you’ll get better with practice. Mo is only 3. That gives you 10 years to learn to keep a straight face and breath normally while you are hearing what your teenager is telling you about what goes on in their life!
I was about her age when I kissed my first boy (so says my mom) and he was my “boyfriend.” You’re in for it…
This is not good news…
i think i would be a little freaked if analee was kissed a kid-but i’d also be super grateful if she had no qualms about telling me. so good job and good luck.
she is very open about everything… she has no filter and no shame
Let’s hope she keeps this honesty policy with you during her teen years — that would be so much easier than worrying about what she’s not telling you.
Something that has me nervous is that we all keep some things secret no matter how open we are. So, if she’s telling me about kissing boys when she’s a teenager, then what is she not telling me?
