a question about kids.
ok. i like kids. i think.
yesterday a friend came over to spend the day with me and my wife. her SO had to work. she brought her 3 year old son and almost one year old daughter. i cooked, the ladies chatted and the kids napped. all was great until the kid both woke up. then hell broke loose. it was like we summoned a two foot tall kraken to scream and destroy things. and what is up with all the questions??? the one year old was cool until she saw someone that wasnt mom. and she is LOUD. the 3 year old fed my aquarium maybe 10 times, chased my chickens around, played ball relentlessly, badgered me with questions... the one year old, can climb anything. she took a salad and "planted" a garden in my living room. we have no kids, so our house is basically a child stunt house. knives and guns had to be hidden. rooms blocked off, tools hidden.
i was exhausted when they left. how do parent do it? i assume with your own kids, the insanity builds up slowly? wow, talk about a sterilizing moment.
i still cant find my flashlight. but i havent checked the toilet yet.
