Did You Get My Message?

So, a few weeks ago Little One called me about something.  The answer was no to whatever she was asking and she wasn't happy about it.  The first time she hung up on me I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt.  She WAS upset and maybe it wasn't really a "hang up on me" kind of thing.  When she called right back I figured I'd been right.  That is, until she did it again.  She called back a few minutes later and left me a message when I didn't answer.

Later that evening, after I got home, Little One was walking down the hall going to get ready for bed.  We'd been talking about how rude it is to hang up on someone.  As she was walking away she said, "Did you get my message?"  Mom, not knowing that she really HAD left me a message earlier started getting after her.  She thought she was being sassy and asking if I'd gotten the message when she hung up that she was mad at me.  I quickly explained that yes, I'd gotten the message but hadn't had a chance to listen to it yet.  Mom, of course, apologized. :)

I did listen to it later and it was really sweet.  She was telling me she was sorry she'd hung up on me and that she hoped I'd forgive her and she missed me and wanted me to come home.

And, last but not least I thought I'd share some math news.  Little One has this "meeting" we're supposed to do at the beginning of every math lesson.  Part of it she's supposed to come up with 3 number sentences for the number of the day.  She was kinda stuck on doing things like 12-1=11 and other such simple ones.  I asked her to do something a little harder and then this is what I got.  Smart girl. :)
