Description of Being a Mother to Toddlers
01 Jun 2011 1 Comment
My kitchen table is distressed – by Crayola.
My car is a VW – wagon.
You can eat off my kitchen floor – because sometimes, my kids do.
I have a 5 minute make-up routine – because – otherwise, my toddlers will also be putting on my makeup.
I can color, play memory, make play dough animals, and read Curious George like its no one’s business. I am not sure where that fits on my resume.
Most days, I am on my second outfit before leaving for work – because sticky hands have hugged me. Peanut butter on pants is never professional.
I embrace the question “Why?” at least 25 times a day. And I work for 8 hours of the day.
I understand my 20 month old. Its almost like Americans understanding Chinese.
I can disinfect any surface.
My shoes are not my own.
There are letters on my fridge.
My art-decor of choice is color pencils or crayon drawings.
I have found my kids socks or shoes in the following places : the bathtub, my purse, the dog’s mouth, the toilet.
I have found my kids toothbrush in the following places: the bathtub, my purse, the dog’s mouth, the toilet.
