Cleaning a house is much different when it contains a 5 yo and 6 yo, a dog, four cats and play dough. I've been accused of rewriting the past ...but I honestly don't remember ever scraping play dough off the bottom of a couch cushion in the olden days [i.e. 30 years ago]. I know my kids were not faultless in childhood --otherwise they would be flawless today. I'm pretty sure about this.
Today with dd [the Kitten] I noticed several imperfections. She informed my that my son, Prince Perfect and his wife have several issues.
Oh, please! They are perfect!
And what's this issue stuff? I first found out that people have issues instead of problems or challenges about five years ago at church. I mentioned an incident and the woman I was talking to stated flatly, "Well, that's her issue! After that I noticed that quite a lot of people have issues. I even have them now. For a while it was "at" at the end of sentences. I heard myself screaming at the radio or TV... I don't know where I AM or Where are you [ . ] Period! I've given up and now just make sure people know I am at home, at church or where ever I am..........heh, heh, ....at. One thing I lament. My daughter has no fear of me. I say, "maybe you should... " and she says " No". just like that. Her fiend BubbleB, tells her that I control her. Upon hearing this I perked up with pleasure -- then.... Squinting my eyes and with dramatic facial contortions I demanded: " How? When? You almost won the potty training battle!" Well, she immediately back off and allowed that it's not control... control but that she wants to please me.
Right.
I reminded her that I, too, desire to please. Didn't I paint my grout tan when she and Mrs. Perfect thought the white too... too white? And they were wrong -- and now admit it! |
