I May Need a Bladder Sling
Because my kids are so damn funny, of course…ahem.
Yesterday, I came home from the hospital in time to play with the kids, eat dinner as a family, and tuck everyone into bed. It was fantastic. While eating dinner, Jack asked, as he does everyday / night when I get home: “how was your day at the hops-ital mom? Were there lots of sick people? What happened to them? Did you help them get better?” Then he said “dad, are you a doctor?” Travis then said “wellllll, yes, kind of. But daddy helps people get healthy using technology…with his computer.” Jack let out this hysterical laugh and said condescendingly, “daaaad! Computers don’t help people; they have buttons, and are used for things like games and PBSkids.org!” We laughed so hard.
Later, we put the kids to bed. About 10 minutes after tucking them in, we heard Finley yell and start crying, so Travis and I ran upstairs to find her with barf everywhere. We scooped her up, cleaned her off, and Travis rocked her in the chair. She begged him to sleep in the rocking chair next to her bed, so he shot me the look. I said “fine, bring her in our bed.” A strange, Grinch-like smile curled across her little face. When we got her into our bed, I laid down in bed with her, patted her hair and stroked her face until she started drifting off. Then she said, in this scratchy little voice, “hey mom? I stuck my hand down my mouf so the barf would come out.” Sneaky little shit.

So freaking funny!
NO SHE DIDN’T! that girl… if she is doing that now, you guys are in SUCH trouble!
Wow. That reminds me of when I was a kid (about
I made a concoction of mayo, red punch, lemon juice, and some other little bits from the fridge and mixed it all up then I poured it over my pillow and smeared it on by my mouth just so I could stay home from school. It worked.
Oh Fin! She is a trip!
Oh man-you guys are sooo screwed! I pray for everyone’s sake that the devious gene bypasses your next progeny. Two Fins in a household would be too much!
Fin is the female version of Dash!
