It was this list that a dad wrote basically trying to figure out what is going on in his child's head when the said child is having a "moment". I don't know if it was because I'd had too much coffee or what, but I laughed my a** off. Because I seriously have done the same mental checklist in my head--for BOTH of my kids! Here are my top 10...
I think my 9 (almost 10) year old's list is the easiest to usually pick from:
1) My mom said I can't play Minecraft.
2) I don't want to do my homework, I want to play Minecraft.
3) I don't want to take a shower, I want to play Minecraft.
4) Why is my mom talking to me? HELLO! I am playing Minecraft.
5) My mouth tastes awful--oh yeah, I forgot to brush my teeth, I was playing Minecraft.
6) Wow, I feel crabby and tired (and my eyes are burning). Must be because I ninja-played Minecraft at 2am last night (but good thing I wasn't caught).
7) I clogged the toilet again. I HAD to hold it. I was playing Minecraft.
8) I think I downloaded a "mod" in Minecraft that crashed my laptop.
9) Who does my mom think she is? I NEED that charger to keep playing Minecraft--I mean, who is going to call her anyway?!?!?
10) My mom didn't wash my Minecraft t-shirt and says I can't wear my cardboard "creeper" Minecraft hat to school.
**I KNOW a few of my friends can relate to that above list**
Here is Bee's list:
1) After 7 months, this formula is really starting to get old.
2) I tried to poop but it didn't happen.
3) I know Mom thinks these little outfits are cute but the zipper folds up right under my chin and I have to smell leftover formula or food because of that zipper.
4) Speaking of cute outfits, I never get a say. Ever.
5) I did poop and now Mom is in the bathroom and I can't get out of it. The hangtime is killing me.
6) Why does Mom put clothes on me anyway?
7) I had to get out of the bath. Mom still thinks she can distract me enough to like getting out of the water, getting lotioned up and shoved into those footie-jammie things. Poor lady.
8) The lights aren't on. Everyone should know by now that I like lights.
9) My waistband is too tight and my onesie is too short.
10) Raffi has now sang twice on Pandora--no thumbs up!
That's about what I have...I'm sure their brilliant little minds come up with even better ideas. I'd love to have a peek into what they think all day. Or maybe not. But I'm confident enough that my kids love me that I'm sure I get a few pats on the back and "I love my Mommy" thrown in there too!
Speaking of the funniest list I read today, here is the link--you should really check it out: http://jasongood.net/365/2012/12/46-reasons-why-my-three-year-old-might-be-freaking-out/
