Darbee Rae and a Typical Southern Day

Good evening everyone.  This is a "No Prim "post but an account of a day spent with Darbee Rae.  As most of you  know Holly went back to teaching this year after taking time off to be with Darbee Rae.  She and Darbee Rae were so excited earlier this month to be at school and  daycare.   However this morning, I am so sure as I know Holly so well, she had a sick feeling in her stomach.  Darbee Rae had a dentist appointment at noon and Holly had to be at school.  So  Stacy, Darbee's Dad agreed to take her on his lunch break.  Darbee came here this morning instead of going to school with her Mommy and I met her Dad for her appointment.  Holly's kids were napping and she kept texting and finally called so worried although it was just for a cleaning.  Just one disadvantage of working as the dentist wouldn't make an afternoon appointment for children as young as Darbee Rae.   Anyway .... all went well, Darbee Rae was fine and a big girl, and I got her after her appointment and we had a Darbee Rae and Nana day as she put it.  Our first stop was one of her favorite place to eat chicken nuggets.

And next on our list was shopping.  Can't have a day without  it.  So we shopped at T.J. Max and ended up at Target.  She couldn't find a toy she really wanted so instead she chose  ice cream.  I should have known as she knows Nana will let her have it.  So ...........

Don't that look good ?   I didn't even know the snack bar at Target sold ice cream but leave it to Darbee Rae , she led me right to them.   Was a treat to sit and visit with her as she enjoyed that sandwich.

Now to the funny part.  Do you ever wonder what kids think about us adults when we talk to them?  To babyish ( is that  a word?)  or above their heads with too many big words?  Well Darbee Rae will definitely put you in your place.

Now you know being from the south, we get made fun of all the time using words that aren't really words, like ain't and Ya'll, and there are lots of phrases that are commonly used in the south.  Until I met a really good friend , I had never heard of packing a child, or groceries to a car, etc.  We carry our children and carry our groceries, etc.  We pack  luggage to go on a trip.  Anyway..... if someone  has an appointment we might ask upon seeing that person again, "How did you come out at the appointment?"  Same as for a test,job interview, etc.

This afternoon Darbee Rae was visiting with her Aunt Kathy, and Kathy ask her how she came out at the dentist.  Kathy called and said if looks could have killed ,  with the one Darbee Rae gave  her she would be dead.  She stood a minute and then replied to Kathy, " Thru the door."   Hmmmmmmm,  makes me wonder if Darbee Rae is going to fit in here in the South!!!   And ending to a perfect day.

Hope you smiled today.  Until next time.
