Yesterday I got a phone call about mid-morning from Big Mochi’s school.  This is never good.  They never call and say, “Hi there!  Just wanted to let you know your kid is doing GREAT today!”  I recognize the voice and I am not mistaken.  There was an incident.  Big Mochi has run into the wall… with her nose.  It’s bloodied, her clothes has been changed, it stopped bleeding, she has stopped crying.  So I ask to speak to her and when they tell her I am on the phone, she starts crying again and is unable to speak.  They assure me she is fine.  I call G to report what has happened and as expected, he will leave work, pick her up and take her home.  I call the school and tell them he is coming.  A few minutes later, G calls me from the side of the freeway where his tire is shredding.  He has attempted to change it and the lugnuts are stripped or something along those lines.  I’m not real sure, but he needs to call AAA to get a tow to the nearest tire store.  The school has told her someone is coming so if I don’t go get her, she’ll freak out more and let’s face it, it’s already been a pretty tough day for her.  I get her, grab some crayons, a Nintendo DS and some snacks and bring her back to work with me.  It just so happens it’s my boss’ birthday and we have decorated his office with balloons, streamers, batman paraphernalia and confetti.  We are also having ice cream cake and doing the whole singing bit.  Pretty darn good day to show up to mom’s work. 

I got a kick out of her asking me if had naptime already.  But the best was this morning when Baby Mochi told me her sister’s nose was dirty, that she had blood.  I said yeah, she ran into a wall, but she’s fine.  She stared at Big Mochi until she got yelled at and ran off.  Later on when I was dropping off Big Mochi at school, Baby Mochi’s yelling at her, “Don’t run into the wall!!!” 

Not funny, I know.  But yeah, it kinda is.
