Bad Parenting

It's hard to believe how many things can be filed in the category of bad parenting in just a couple of days...tonight, I had prepared beef stew for dinner. I got the bowls of hot stew and set it on the dinner table to cool. Lolo came running to the table because she was so hungry and I absentmindly just said "be careful, it's hot." I should have left the bowls on the counter to cool. Poor Lolo. She reached across the table, got her elbow caught in the stew and burned her arm. Ouch. Thank goodness Jim was home. He carried her into the bathroom and started bathing her arm right away. It's still red and I know it still hurts. While she's crying in my lap she says "You're supposed to take good care of me but you didn't do a good job." Yep. I didn't do a good job. Poor Lolo. Bad mom.
On a lighter, bad parenting note (can there be such a thing?)....Jim's a youtube addict. The other night he watched a lego video called "Circle circle dot dot" by Jamie Kennedy. It's rude and crude (which is why I won't link to it....but you can do a quick youtube search if you're so inclined). Anyway, it's a catchy tune and he was singing it yesterday the basic gist is "Circle circle dot dot. I think that girl is hot....." Lolo, the sponge, overheard it and last night as I was putting her to bed she sang "circle circle dot dot. I think you're sweaty."
