Carrots And A Poem

The Law of Parenting says that if you have something else you need to be working on, the kids will pick that very moment to want to hang out.

Particularly if they have friends over and the beautiful weather makes the screened-in porch the ideal place to be.

And if you have two papers to write (and the fact that those two papers could have been finished last week is irrelevant)... well, that just makes the temptation to smother the mother even more appealing.

Now I have a kid flicking carrots at me all while trying to flatter me. Seriously?

Mom, you're so great,

I wish I could be you.

So beautiful,

Oh, you know it's true.

I love my life.
