Are Your Pants Getting Loose?

Some days my kids get something in their head and they just can't shake it.
It usually starts with Mom.... can we....?
And I say no.

Then they come back with...

we promise not to.....

And I say no.

They finally wait for a quiet moment while I'm, let's say, reading a blog.

And they say, Mom you sure do have pretty eyes.

And I say, mmm hmmm thank you.

And they say, Mom are your pants getting loose?

And I say, mmm hmmm a little.

And they say, Mom can we empty the dishwasher for you?

And I say, mmm hmmm of course.

And then they say, Mom can we....?

And I say.... mmm hmmm maybe.

And then they start shrieking and yelling MOM said Yes!  Mom said YES!
And I say what?  Mom said what?

Then they tackle me and give me a big group hug,
and I make a mental note to stop reading blogs.

And then I wonder why I said no to begin with?

Because usually?

It turns out to be a lot of fun.
