So our 6 year old Sam overheard an older child at school saying OMG. At dinner last night, he asks my husband and me - what does O-M-G mean? We explain just like how mommy and daddy text message each other throughout the day, to cut down on writing out words, text messages often use the first letter of each word. We had a teachable moment about acronyms and texting. Then - best part - we started using OMG in context. (BTW - We teach Oh My Goodness!) OMG I love the mac and cheese tonight. OMG you did a great job eating your carrots. Then my 4 year old Will turns to me, jumps over to my chair and hugs me so tight and says, "OMG - I LOVE MOMMY!" We all laughed and it brought a tear to my eye.
He really got it! And I got a great memory!! I can't wait to text it to him back someday when he's older! ;)
OMG - I love that Story! :-)
