So today D goes on her 1 st school picnic.....

Me: D, please listen to your teacher, hold her hand or your friend's hand, don't cross the road alone, don't leave your lunch box behind....you get the drift;I was being the typical anxious mom.

D: dutifully (for a change)says yes to everything....

I continue my drone, adding that she should not touch any animals (they are going to a small animal park), that they may bite...etc etc

D: But, mom they are no tigers there!!!!

Sigh!Why do they grow up!!

    Well you are officially diagnosed with the overly concerned parent syndrome and it will last all your life and beyond.

    I remember my 70+ yr grandpa asking my 40+ mom with 2 grownup kids if she remembered to brush her teeth before having tea one morning ;)

    And guess what a little soap will clean out all the germs so try not to worry too much about touching animals and lost lunch boxes ;)

    thank you Nitya!
    Yes she did and no nothing bit:)
    After all, as she said, there were no tigers, only poor harmless pigeons and rabbits:)
