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.

  13. You have a bunch of smart kiddos, but you know kids are cracker jacks and can get their moms t cave a lot of times. If they are persistent, but aren't you glad? I mean, that's when you have some of the best times with your kiddos. =D

  17. Ain't that the truth. Why do we sometimes just see the work and the mess, not the fun. And that looks fun!
