Hey Mom Guess What?!

How is that I tell my kids the same things everyday, but it never sinks in until someone outside the home tells them?! Maya comes home from school all the time with the "new found" knowledge that she wants to share with me. The other day she told me that we should wash our hands because the doctor at the school showed them that they have germs on their hands. I was like "really?, I'm pretty sure that's why I tell you to wash your hands all the time and you never do it!" Then she tells me that her teacher told her she shouldn't eat snow because it has dirty germs in it. So I say, "yeah, I have told you that only a million times." Obviously if I want Maya to do something I have to tell the teacher to tell her that it is important. What does mom know anyway?!
