Water Torture*
Today, the girls are trying to kill me, one tiny complaint at a time.
If it is possible to actually be whined to death, I am knocking on death’s door. Or wait, maybe I am already dead and this is a particularly sadistic version of Hell?
I am barricaded in the office right now and I am actually contemplating putting in ear plugs so I can’t hear them whining to Mr. A.
Bedtime can not come soon enough.
*Actually, I was going to title this Chinese Water Torture, but then I realized I don’t have the energy to argue with someone who may be offended by it. But, yo. For the record, they are both Chinese and they are torturing me.
it’s a special skill children have, isn’t it? Mine are expert at the art of “are we there soon” or “can I have XYZ?”
But, yo. For the record, they are both Chinese and they are torturing me.
ROFL.
“But, yo. For the record, they are both Chinese and they are torturing me.”
hahahahahahahaha!!!
I know, Phoebe beat me to it, but me too.
Mmmhmmmm. I feel your pain. Today, after a 3-hour playdate with her best, best, best friend ever, Apples said to me (before the friend and his mother had even closed our front door) “So what can we do that’s fun now?” ARRRRGGGHHH!
Has M started “I’m boooooored” yet? My 6yo does this while standing in front of the eleventy billion toys that are cluttering up my house. Yeah, that’s fun.
Oh yes, I feel your pain… And I work out of the home 4 days a week!
MOM! SHE’S LOOKING AT ME AGAIN!!!!!
Oh yes, children are quite skilled with their torture, yes?
Thanks so much for your comments on my blog. I don’t think you are a stalker. Our sleepy town is feeling a little friendlier to me today, more so since your comments.
Yes, my three are Chinese and they are torturing me also. But not right now, because kid #1 just started Kindergarten (we have year-round here) and numbers 2 and 3 are in preschool! Yay! I hardly know what to do with myself.
but it doesn’t invovle water!
Really, though, shouldn’t it be Chinese-AMERICAN water torture?
[...] year went on, with the exception of a truly difficult two months in late summer/early fall where whining and tantrums seemed to be her only form of communication, we have been in a good groove togther. [...]
