Here is a conversation I had with my 3 year old son this morning. It is a wonder more mothers are not certifiably insane.
SCENE: Bathroom. MOMMY is picking up a plethora of toys from the bottom of the tub. MICAH comes into the bathroom.
MICAH: Mommy, I wanna take a bath!
ME: No, honey, we're not going to take a bath right now. I want you go to watch TV.
MICAH: But I don't wanna watch TV.
ME: Ok, do you want me to turn it off?
MICAH: No!
(Pause)
MICAH: Mommy, what are you doing?
ME: I am going to take a shower.
MICAH: Mommy! What are you do-o-o-o-ing??
ME: Micah. Listen. I am going to take. a. shower.
MICAH: But I don't want to take a shower!
ME: No! I am going to take a shower!
MICAH: NO!
MICAH exits to go watch TV.
GAH! Seriously, no wonder women talk their husbands ears off when they come home from work!
Oh, Brittany, praying for you! I'm glad you're finding humor in the midst of your day.
