Mad Science




I am convinced that if I were ever unfortunate enough to fall unconscious while at home during the day, my children would surely kill me.

Here's how:

  • Luke would straddle my abdomen, jump up in the air, and slam his bony little bottom (along with 34 pounds of his body mass) directly onto my diaphragm.
  • Evie would do the same thing on my face.
  • Luke would shout "WAKE UP, MOMMY!" directly into my ear and attempt to force one of my eyes open by gouging his finger into it.
  • Evie would stand next to me and calmly kick me in the head.
  • They would both step on various sensitive body parts as they walk around and over my prone figure.
  • My hair would get pulled, my mouth would get probed, and my face would get slobbered on.
  • Something would get bitten.
  • If they were strong enough, they'd probably send me tumbling down the stairs.

How do I know this, you ask? Well, let's just say that curiosity got the better of me the other day and I decided to experiment.

At least the bruises are finally starting to fade...

You are very brave!
I think I have enough bruises from regular play with Katie's pokey elbows to sustain my curiousity for a while! :)

Hang in there! When they're teenagers, they will do the same thing to your spirit that they're doing to your body! HA!

What a hoot! I've been waiting for a new entry! Thanks for not disappointing me!

What! Not ONE, but TWO posts...I'm overwhelmed!

When did Evie's hair get so long? She was just here three nights ago!!!

Aunt Kathy: Thanks for that little piece of inspiration. ;-)

HonorMommy: Her hair looks longer when it's clean.
