Child B is potty training and had an accident today, needing new underpants, but we'd forgotten to stock up their stash in the nursery. So they got a loaner pair from the nursery that are day of the week themed with 'Friday' written on them, and very clearly styled for a gender other than Child B's. I'm shocked; I don't know how they can confuse a child like that - it's a TUESDAY! They're going to think tomorrow is the weekend now. #parenting
We’ve had numerous breakdowns here, especially during this time a year. Lots of free days (holidays, Easter, kingsday, Pentecost..) which are messing with the usual rhythm of the week.
@deeds I think they were less confused than we were, and wondering why they were wearing pants that didn't feature dinosaurs - a question I feel more adults should ask themselves. Intermittent holidays, and illness, do cause confusion. This weekend is also a long one, which is /good/ but can lead to confusion.
@jake4480 Yeah, but I think you have to be careful if you tell that to anyone, otherwise it's going to sound like a weird and creepy chat up line: "Do you know where it's Friday right now? My pants."
