Yesterday afternoon. The first piano lesson of the day.
9 year old piano student: Oh, I am so hot. I ran all the way here. I need some water or something.
She gulps down the glass of water I hand her.
9 year old piano student: Thanks, a lot. Oh, I am so hot.
Me: Well cool yourself down. Sit down and—
9 year old piano student: (She blurts out) Can I use your bathroom?
Me: ‘Course.
Minutes later she returns to the piano bench.
9 year old piano student: Guess what?
(Before I can guess she informs me): I have constipation.
Me: Really. Well, well.
9 year old piano student: Yup, I have to take mineral oil for it.
Me: Oh. Well. (I couldn’t resist). How is that working out for you?
9 year old piano student: Not too well. I have to like sit on the toilet for like an hour a day.
Me: Start your scales, Hadley.

Ha ha. Well, Lucy has this same issue. And what do you know? Her doctor prescribed the same mineral oil treatment!!
I hope you don't mind me looking in on your blog Sister Walker! I found the link from Meghan's.
This post made me laugh so hard! Mostly because it has me wondering what ridiculously embarrassing things I ever did at your house....I'm sure there were many.
And I wanted to say that I admire you. I've loved reading about all of the sweet things you do for your family, and how much love you have for each member of it. I have also enjoyed reading your other posts....how much you have to say that is of worth, and not just "stuff". You are a good example of what a woman, mother and grandmother should be. I feel blessed to have crossed paths with you. :)
