Anyone who has children or a significant other knows that whenever you leave you have to say goodbye in your own unique way. Maybe you tell each other you love them. Maybe you say see you later rather than goodbye. At my house, the going phrase as we walk out the door is "Watch out for rocks!". Where did this come from?? My eldest son, of course.
For whatever reason, my son has coined this phrase and tells everyone this as they walk out the door. To my older girls as they leave for school for the day. To me as I am walking out the door for work. To my husband as he leaves for Kung Fu. Everyone gets a kiss and a hug and as you are on your way out the door...here comes the preschooler telling you "Watch out for rocks!". It is such a common occurence in fact, that my youngest daughter (who turns 2 next month) has picked up the phrase. Of course, that has prompted him to change his a bit now...now we have to watch out for rocks from volcanoes!
In any case, it's this simple phrase that lets us know that we are loved and will be missed in our absences.
Watch out for rocks everyone!!!
