A Day in the Life Of A Mom

June 14, 2008

 "Jake, did you forget to put the seat up when you went potty?"

 "Uh, yeah."

(waiting in vain for an apology and promise not to do it again) "Next time remember to put it up, and at least wipe off the seat, okay?"

"Sure, Mom."

*

"What's to eat? Can I make some rice? It's good-for-you brown rice, Mom."

"No, you can't eat rice again for the twentieth time this week. Find something else."

There isn't anything else."

 "Quit pouting."

"I found this really cool manga on crunchyroll.com, Mom. It's about this boy and his twin sister only he doesn't know she's his sister and then he falls in love with  this girl but she doesn't like him because she's actually a dragon which is really cool but I have to wait for the rest of the story to be updated which really stinks because it's really good and I really like it. Want to watch Vampire Knight episode six? Yuki finds out she's actually a pure-blood vampire and I know you'll like it come on let's get on the laptop and you can watch it with me come on Mom!"

*

"I think I have a spider in my brain."

"Underwear Boy to the rescue!"

"Spongebob got a splinter in his finger and Mr. Krabs got it out but it was kinda yucky."

"You look beautiful, Mom."

*

"Mom, Kirstin took my book and she won't give it back."

"You're not reading it right now, Emily."

"Give it back!"

"No! You take my books all the time without asking."

"Give it back, Cow-stin!"

"Mom!  Emily called me 'Cow-stin'!"

*

"I'm starving. What's to eat? I don't like that. Why can't you make something I like?"

*

"Mom! Noah won't help pick up the toys!"

"Mom! Jacob hit Noah!"

"Mom! Emily's being mean!"

*

"Noah stole my helicopter! He won't give it back! Ow! He hit me! Mom! Noah hit me! Spank his bottom!"

*

"Time to feed the puppies. Whose turn is it?"

"Kirstin's."

"Let's pick a number."

"Just do it, Kirstin."

"But I have to wash the dishes!"

*

"Can't me and Noah have separate baths?"

"Not tonight. Mommy's tired."

"Stop splashing, Noah! Mom! Noah won't stop splashing!"

*

"Why can't I pick the music this time?"

"Because it's Noah's turn. You picked last night."

"I don't want any music. I want it to be quiet."

*

"Mom! I need some books."

"Mom! Cover me up. I'm kinda cold."

"Mom! I don't like this kind of music."

"Mom! I'm thirsty."

*

"Somebody needs to bring in Pandora and take off her collar. And lock the doors and turn off the lights if no one else wants to go outside."

*

"How late are you girls staying up?"

"Kodacha comes on at 10:00."

"Whatever. I'm going to bed."
