This week, Erik and I were discussing how mothers often assume tasks of gargantuan proportions. Sometimes it seems like we are taken advantage of or simply overwhelmed with responsibility. Of course, I honestly can't remember exactly what situation we were referring to in this conversation, but at one point I enthusiastically and uncharacteristically announced, "I got the shaft! Up the butt!"
Before he could appropriately reply to that unfortunate choice of words, Ava scurried into the room, eyes wide. "Can I see?"
Oh, my. No, really. OH, MY! How do I even begin to explain a metaphor to a four-year-old? Either that, or I need to seriously watch what I say around a daughter with such exceptional hearing!
