After the first one I learned to be careful.....the conversation went like this....
Tiny: "Mom, guess what I did today?!"
Me: "Oh, I don't know...tell me" (first mistake)
Tiny: "I jumped off a bridge"
ME: 'YOU WENT BUNGEE JUMPING?!"
Tiny: "Sheesh, no mom, we didn't use bungee cords we just jumped!"
Me: "Oh....." (I'm sure I said more but at this point it would have been my mouth in automatic as my mind frantically pictured this..........)
Next phone call?
Tiny: "Mom, guess what I did today"
Me: "...........You jumped off another bridge?" (You'd think I'd learn the first time).
Tiny: "NO....silly, ......I went Kayaking!"
Me: "Oh....." (my mind takes off.....)
Today she sent me "her" pictures (the above were ...thank goodness.....only in my imagination.....)
Bridge jumping:
And, of course, Kayaking:
From now on our conversations are going to go like this:
Tiny: "Guess what I did today mom?"
Me: "No time to talk honey, just send me a picture! : )"
Okay, a little cold but definitely worth it in terms of sleep and the length of my daily prayers!
Mom out!

Oiiy, can they freak us out? Will the mother-worry never stop? I think not!
Wow, I would still be scared to jump off of the real bridge!
Luckily for my frenzied mind my kids are still little! I can't imagine worrying about bigger problems yet!
yep somethings are best not left to the imagination
