As parents we see our little ones flip out like over the tiniest things, “I wanted to push the button, waaaa!” As we mature we learn to let the little things in life roll off our back. It’s not worth it, right? Pick your battles, don’t sweat the small stuff all that jazz.
But…
Sometimes we humans, us sleep deprived humans, cannot help ourselves. Then the volcano within explodes. Because one to many indignities have been visited upon us. How much can one person take?
(side bar: this vid came to together organically. It was a real situation and I checked myself and said, “Turn on the camera, I smell Cool Mom.” Mark had just happened to come home then and was about to walk in the back door. As I did this video he was doubled over laughing. Because the truth is funny.)
When ever I freak out over the smallest stuff, I console myself be saying “it’s a mom thing – we all do it sometimes – maybe more than we would like” You just confirmed my hunch – thank you for making me feel better for occasionally being a freak!
That is a serious offense!!!
This is super funny because I just ranted at my 2 year old for pushing buttons on the dishwasher (he keeps making it delay like 4 or 8 hours, and YEAH). He also has a habit of turning off stove burners and flipping the crock pot from low to high.
see, if you snap, sometimes it makes sense!
