Is having one of those days of limited patience where I desperately wish Will didn’t have to say “Mommy?” requiring a “what?” before he says whatever it is he wants to say every 2 minutes.  Who else would he be talking to?!  I’m right here—just SAY WHATEVER NONSENSE YOU WANT TO SAY.  Because it’s all nonsense. 

“Mommy?”  “What?”  “I want to have little boy workers.” 

30 seconds later.

“Mommy?”  “What?”  “Ellie has a frog in her throat.”

10 seconds later.

“Mommy?”  “What?”  “Did you draw this when you were a baby?”  “No—you drew it yesterday.”  “NO—you drew it when you were a little baby.” 

I’m going to check myself into one of those monasteries where the monks have taken a vow of silence.
