That’s What She Said Wednesdays: Mommy Sad

I should start by saying that I blog almost daily at Buck’s Blog and have an on going segment over there called Daddy Dairies.  I thought I start a weekly feature here at Dad-O-Matic called That’s What She Said.  Now take your mind our of the gutter.   My kid, as do all kids, says the craziest things at times.  I thought I share one a week with you.  That’s what She Said Wednesdays will be featured here first exclusively for a week and then moved to my blog.  First let me introduce the characters.

Introducing Danni, she will be the main character of the play I call life.

This is Danni and she talks a lot

Next there is me: BuckDaddy

This is me, I tend to listen a lot

Then there is my wife, Chelsea.  If anyone else enters a story I will be sure to post a picture of them too.

It is near impossible to find a picture of my wife

On to the story.

My wife likes to sing.  She sings to almost every pop song that comes out.  Chelsea has no formal training and American Idol will not be calling her anytime soon.  I should mention that I am not good at singing either.

The other night I had just got home from work and was in the bedroom changing clothes.  My daughter was sitting (probably jumping on the bed) telling me about her day at school.  I was in the closet changing and picking out a t-shirt to bum around in.  i could hear my wife in the living room singing Pink’s So What.  Danni suddenly stopped talking.  This is usually a red flag because it means she is into something she is not supposed to.

I peeked my head out of the closet and saw she wasn’t there.  I ventured into the living room and Danni was standing there staring at my wife as Chelsea sang.  Danni looked at me and said, “Ahh Mommy is so sad.  Give her hug Daddy.”  Danni then turned to Chelsea and said, “It’s okay Mommy stop crying Daddy here, he’ll hug and make better.”

Chelsea doesn’t sing as loud anymore.
