Sweet and not so sweet.

**Sweet**

Once in awhile I get on these kicks to try and be some kind of mother of the year. Thus, I try to teach my kids things. I, however, am not a teacher for a very valid reason. I suck at it. I am ok with that. But, just because I know I am not good at it, doesn't mean I can't teach my kids anything right. So thus we work on 'stuff''. Dependant on the age depends on what we work on. For example currently Trent and I are working on small three letter sight words. One day I am hoping that when I write on the magna-doodle the letters CAT he doesn't say dog.

With Addie due to her costume for Halloween this year I am trying to teach her what a kitty cat says. So about 8,971 times a day I say "Addie, what does a kitty cat say?"...... long pause waiting for her response..... with no avail I then say "meeeeowww" and she immediately says "YUP"
C'mon, who's teaching who here. She doesn't say yup unless she actually means it, so I know she knows. Conniving already isn't' she. Oh and I bet she knows dates too. Just you watch, November 1st once the costume is put away and Halloween is over she'll say "MEOW"

Joseph on the other hand has reached that place where I leave teaching things to him up to the professionals who get paid for it. Because to be honest I sometimes think Joseph might be smarter than me.

**Not so sweet**

Is it wrong to find it condescending when someone other than your spouse calls you 'honey'?
I guess it is different if it is a parent or loved one whom has used terms of endearment with you previously and regularly. But a person you barely know... condescending, right?
