It never fails that....
When I have to use the restroom, someone needs something...like the back slider opened right that very second.
When I'm pulling something hot out of the oven, someone needs to hand me something, or come running over.
When I wash all the towels, someone spills something and uses all the clean towels to clean it up.
When it's time to leave, someone loses a shoe.
When it's time for schoolwork, someone has lost their favorite pencil.
When I'm typing a blog post, someone is arguing loudly with someone else.
When we have a lot of things to do, everyone works at half the speed and takes twice as long.
No matter how many times I answer the question "What are we doing tomorrow?", No one listens to the answer.
When I am not being in the best mood, that one of the kids will do something really sweet or nice, and make me feel worse for being in a bad mood.
When we leave the house, someone will have to use the bathroom. They'll have to at the one store that doesn't have a bathroom to use, and they will do it with a cartload of stuff, and have to go right-that-very-second.
When I'm trying to checkout, watch prices, check my coupons, and make sure everything is right, someone runs off and someone talks 50 miles a minute. Someone will also bag the groceries very slowly, with one item per bag, and then have no idea how to get the bag into the cart.
When it's time to get in the car, someone is wandering around the parking space next to the car, singing songs and walking in circles, even though someone else is trying to park there.
When they are told to "Bring something quiet to play with", they will always choose a big, made with many pieces lego that they swear they are just bringing in the car, that will break into a million pieces as soon as they step outside.
When you open the fridge, there is a lego or two inside.
When I push the water button and no water comes out, I check the water line, the water in the sink, and the water tank, before noticing that someone pushed the "lock" button on the water/ice dispenser.
ha...and when we need to get on the road in a hurry, the "automatic sliding door" on the minivan chooses to take over...and not automatically do anything at all. :)
ReplyDeleteOh no! That would stink! We have one door on our van that is parent proof (the outside handle doesn't open the door, only the inside one), and when the kids flip the child lock, it doesn't open at all.
ReplyDeleteHa...they would love that sometimes, I'm sure. I keep telling myself I'm going to pull the fuse next time I think of it. But I never think of it, unless I'm in a hurry.
