Oooooohhhh That Mouth!

I have discovered by trial and error that Christian and Caroline can actually play together sweetly----that is, until Momma gets on the phone. Something happens to them when that little device rings.
They become little whining, groaning, hungry, fighting, irritating, bratty, ornery, unbelievably rude children. Oy! It really makes me want to pull my hair out a times.
Or lock myself in the garage, which has been known to happen.
Even when it's 20 degrees in there.
Anywho, I was attempting to carry on a phone conversation with my mom (Mimi) the other morning, and Christian and Caroline were in fine form from the get-go. One would whine and pull on my leg while the other ran around in circles throwing clean laundry all over the kitchen (I think a pair of Caitlin's panties landed in the dog water-yuck). I apologized profusely to Mimi and told her that if the two of them didn't settle down in about .5 seconds, I was gonna have to spank their little bums.
Mind you, I was talking to her but using the "I'm going to bust your bottom" look as a threat to the 2 small C's.
Christian matter-of-factly says, "Don't you spank me woman!"
Seriously?
Like that's gonna help the situation?

Let's just say he hasn't said it again. And he better not ever.

I was thinking the same thing Keri was. How funny. Kids are so precious but can really try your patience at times. You are such a great mommy!
