Yesterday Ali called me at work like she does every day when she gets home from school. I look forward to that phone call and expect it at the same exact time.
This time I answered and she sounded just fine at first, then she said with a really crackly voice. Mom, ...then really started to cry...I said yeah, what's wrong?? She said, I am really sorry about this morning when you told me to keep my pants pulled up and I snapped at you (all broken up with sobs). I said, Ali, don't worry about that why are you crying about that? She said well I am just really worried that I hurt your feelings...lots more sobbing.
Just then I heard Dave open her bedroom door, Why are you crying?? What is going on? Ali why are you crying? She didn't want to tell dad and he wasn't letting up so I told her to let me talk to him and I would talk to her again after.
I told him that this morning I had tightened her pants with those buttons the pants come with cause the waist was too big. Her pants I have to buy big because she needs the length but her waist is so small that the pants never are the right size in the waist. Well I had them too tight and they were pinching her. So I loosened them, I must have too much cause when she hopped out of the car to walk in the school, her pants dropped a little. I just said, pull your pants up, try to keep them up today. She turned around and Yelled..WELL I WOULD IF THEY WEREN'T TOO BIG!! Dave giggled that she was so upset for that.
I spoke with Ali again and she was fine. I just loved that she would call me to tell me she was sorry, and she is such a thoughtful girl about everything. Especially to recognize when she makes a mistake and wants to correct it.
