Thank Gawd for Small Favors
While driving across town the other day, from the back seat Wynnie said:
"Can I close my eyes for a minute? I'm so tired I can't even repeat myself."
Only somebody who has spent way too much time with a preschooler who is incapable of not talking and asking "why mommy? why mommy? why mommy? why mommy?" can fully appreciate that little statement.
Her silence lasted approximately 4.28 minutes. As did my sanity.

8 Witty Retorts:
I laughed out loud and Pudding asked me, "Mummy, what are you laughing about?", "Mummy, what are you laughing about?"....
HA! So now you know! She WAS listening! ;-)
So. She power naps?
HYS.TER.ICAL! Cooper has recently gotten into asking me if he can take a nap in the car. Um, HELL YES. Especially if it keeps him from puking all over the HO.
And DUDE. Wait until Monday . . . Maren has learned how to ask 'Why?' and does so at least once every 3 seconds. I have never known a kid who could make someone other than their own Mom want to slit their wrists because of that question.
priceless.
The thing that gets me is when they say something that makes absolutely no sense 100,000 times. My kid, for example, will say something like, "Mickey Mouse poop poop again." WTF?
4.28 minutes is an eternity to her..............
Liked this. Totally relate to it!!
