It must suck
Jul. 5th, 2011 06:30 pmwhen kids learn to tell time. Cause then you can't lie to them and claim it is bedtime a half hour early!
I am collecting reasons not to have a kid these holidays;
a) I will die - I never eat when I have the kids. Seriously, not all day.
b) I will turn feral. I didn't get to have a shower til like 3 today, and the other day I went out in tracksuit pants - didn't even realise til I was in the shops.
c) I will become illiterate - never get time to read.
d) I will apparently talk about nothing else
e) I really don't like the yuckky bits.
but then again, my nephew and niece are awfully cute. And Mea is very funny, when she isn't having a tantrum. Tonight I was trying to get them both dressed after the bath when a collector came to the door. A persistent collector - cause when I said I was in the middle of putting two kids to bed he didn't give up and go away. Anyway, while I am talking to him, explaining that the whole family have been involved with surf lifesaving forever, Mea went off and finished dressing herself. and then came out to me at the front door and went 'ta daaaa'. She had the pants on both backwards AND inside out. I was laughing my ass off, and suggesting that now she finish dressing Max.
Also, I have taught her the Tim Minchin song 'cheese' - as she really really likes cheese (well, cheese slices). So now whenever we get together we are all 'da dadada da dadada..... CHEESE' with our hands in the air. I imagine it is kind of driving her mother and possibly her daycare workers nuts - cause she eats alot of cheese. Maybe she only does it with me.
