“I didn’t.”
“Oh yes you did. Hard enough to bruise. His Mom told me.”
“Mom, I didn’t bite him.” Arms crossed, Sam stomps. “I pinched him.”

Holy moly, cats, it’s been three weeks. The Nutcracker cracked my figurative nuts this year. But it was good, and the kids had a great time, except for the moment mentioned above. I’m finally hooking up with Trifecta again, just in time for the editors to switch things up and put Trifecta and Trifextra in alternating weeks. This is good. It isn’t like I have time for many more than 33 words this week, even with the annual cracking of the nuts behind me.

Clearly there wasn’t enough vodka involved in this year’s Nutcracker! Technicalities, it’s like a court scene isn’t it?! 😉

Technically, biting and pinching are two totally different things. Sam is like my son, extremely literal. I hope life calms down for you all now, and peace reigns.

Ah, technicalities. Kids are so amazing at getting off on them.
I hope you had a good birthday, in the midst of all this craziness.

It was decent. The day before was from hell, though.
Oh, I had a similar conversation with my older son when he was in kindergarten 🙂

You have no idea how much your experiences with him comfort me. There’s a ten year old at their school with similar issues, and I love his mother to death, and I look at that kid, who is still struggling, and I think, “Sam will make it to ten”. And I look at (figuratively) your son, who may have his issues, but who is nonetheless thriving, and I think, “and everything might come close to OK.”
Wonderful… when kids go nuts these things happens.

It’s a situation where you have to laugh so you don’t cry, methinks!
Being exact about these things is important. Maybe you have a future lawyer on your hands?

Oh man. It’s that or a future criminal…
Well of course. You shouldn’t be tried for a crime you didn’t commit!!

oh,how honest;)My daughter had recd such a bite when she was in play school-she was a very loving kid and tried to give another girl a hug and was bitten-it would have drawn blood had it not been winter and had she not been wearing a full shirt and pullover ,lol!Well,taught her to keep her distance;-)

This is one of those moments where you kinda want to laugh (because kid logic is just so silly), pull out your hair and hide. I think most moms can relate.

Nope. Poor kid. Asked “OK, then why did you PINCH him?” his reply was, universally, both to me and the other Mom, “because he was standing next to me.” And the real question, which I only realized later, should have been, “Why did you want to pinch ANYbody?” (Answer: because he was hungry.)
I was hoping this post would be about the Nutcracker. I remember reading about it last year! And it IS about the Nutcracker – as you say. A very specific incident. Which I assume is well behind you now! I hope the show had a great run!
