Danger Lad! Has Two Mommies

[ricevermicelli]

Today, Danger Lad! stayed home from daycare, and my sister and my mom came in, and brought his cousins, and took all the kids to the Children's Museum. I hear that fun was had.

Danger Lad! called my sister Mommy all day. When I got home, he called me Mommy too. "Who's your mommy?" we asked, and he came running to me - big hugs - and then to her. "That's your Auntie Ellen, sweetheart." "Mommy!"

I think he thinks this is the best deal ever. He supposes I can go to work if I insist, especially if he can hang out with his other mom. And why didn't I tell him we had a spare? Two mommies is the way to go. No artificial shortages!

In other Danger Lad! adventures, he also refused to nap (Extra Mommy was way too exciting), demonstrated his new fake barfing skill, and chased around the house giggling insanely.

See, you two claim you are not identical, but Danger Lad! and I disagree. I seriously think you should get your genomes tested to see if you're half-identical.

If either of us ever needs a kidney, we'll get right on that.

everyone should have two mommies.

I am firmly convinced.

Fake barfing does not sound like the awesomest skill! His tiny evil laugh is pretty awesome, though.

My mother has an older sister who looks just like her. Every one of the offspring and grandkids has had a "two mommies" or "two Nanas" moment when they walked into a room and couldn't figure out for a moment which was which. Obviously they are non-identical - there's that four year age difference.

On the whole it has worked out to be a positive thing. I know my kids are overwhelmingly positive about the "other Nana" and have made all their friends envious with descriptions of visits to her home. With cause. She's awesome.

So just go with it. It's a good.

It certainly made looking after him easy. I hate when a kid spends half the day asking where mom is.
