Separation Anxiety

Overheard at our house...

Brunette Twin: "Mom, are you coming to our Valentine's Day Party?"

Mom: "Yes, I'm one of the volunteer parents helping run the party."

Brunette Twin: "Do you have to come? I like it better when you drop us off and come back later."

Mom: "Yes, I'm going to come."

Brunette Twin: "Can't you just not do it?"

Mom: "Nice. You don't want me at your school?"

Brunette Twin: "I like it better when you just drop us off and don't watch us at school."

Mom: "I always thought you'd be older before you tried to keep me away from your parties."

Brunette Twin: "What?"

Mom: "Nothing. Get your coat on."

Bittersweet huh? My 6 year old "can do it all by myself" of course but the other day the school let her call me crying because she was soooooo upset that I left her class after volunteering without saying goodbye (I slipped out quietly). It is such a sweet age when they can't decide if they can make it the whole day without you.
