Proud HIPPIE mama moment
Posted: October 21, 2007 at 10:26 pm by pannOh what a week for being proud! Please forgive me for being such a bragger. I can’t help it sometimes.
Don’t tell A, but C is my favorite child ahem, seven-year-old, today.
In the car, on our way back from an idyllic family outing: apple picking and pumpkin picking, at an orchard with a bouncy castle, spooky haunted house, and hayrides, followed by ice cream for dinner (apples for dessert?!), C came out with this sudden inspiration.
C: Mom, for a really long time, like, since I was six and a half, or something, I have been trying to think of the right word to describe you.
D: Oh, and did you finally think of it?
C: Yes….
Me: Well, what is it?
C: Hippie. You are definitely my Hippie Mom.
Wow, she figured it out all on her own….

That so sounds like you and Drob are a same sex couple and you’re the hippy mom and he’s the, I dunno, computer geek mom?

Oh, that’s because it’s a literary reference. She’s referring to a book called, I think, “I have a hippie grandma” ….
Upon further questions from us, C said that the grandma in the book reminded her of me and that’s where she drew her inspirational breakthrough, coming up with the perfect word to describe me.
That reference aside, D and I are definitely not a same sex couple, though he’s got the longer hair and more sensitive emotions around here.

Neither “hippy” nor “computer geek” would be sufficient to distinguish between Pann and me.
Therefore, it’s handy that one of us happens to be a Dad.
