Thanks for the confidence boost

After I got home from a solo trip to Costco (which felt like a mini-vacation to me), my husband told me that the boys had invented a new game while I was gone.

"Have you ever seen them play 'mommy'?" he asked me.

"Nope, that's a new one," I replied. I felt a little surge of pride thinking that they were playing 'mommy', but it was also laced with a bit of suspicion. The suspicion was the right emotion.

My husband proceeded to explain to me that playing 'mommy' consisted of Kevin pretending to be the mom and yelling at the twins to clean up their toys and threatening to spank them.

Wow. Good feelings, gone. And I think my husband got a little too much joy out of telling me about this new game too.

Wow! That does send quite a blow to your ego, doesn't it? You could play each one of them sometime (in one of their 'moods') and see how they like it.

I think all kids have done something like that. Remind me to tell you a couple stories. Hahaha
