Repetition

Back when Roo was 17 months old, she smacked me around.

Who knows why, maybe I didn't bake the cookies fast enough or I was too slow to give her the boob.

But this morning, she did it again.

My two and a half year old gave me a black eye.

And I know the true reason this time.... she was just so damn happy to see me this morning, she crawled out of her bed into mine and promptly landed her chin smack-dab in the middle of my right eye and pushed down all 33 pounds of her into it.

And I'm swollen... and a little tearful.

How embarrassing, right?

I mean, how to do I explain my black eye to the Moms at the playground? Should I make up some crazy store about how I fought off a crazed lady at Target for the last pack of clearance diapers? Or should I say I was wrestling an alligator and while I look bad, he looks worse?

Or maybe I should just tell the truth and say my daughter loves me so damn much she causes bodily harm?
