I get to laugh at ~A~

I was talking to ~A~ tonight and her kids were...........ahhhhhhhhhhhh how do you say it....... being VERY active. Not that mine aren't ever active in that way.......but I have to relish in the fact that mine, at the time, were no where to be seen or heard. (insert nanny nanny boo boo voice here) Well ~A~'s littles were causing some sort of mass destruction with pencil shavings. (or something of equally great messiness) And ~A~ was attempting to clean it up and uttered in her most "I can't believe you children came from my loins voice":

"Can someone bring me a broom like a normal human being?!?!?!?"

Now just her utterance of this made me start to giggle. Because how do you carry a broom like a normal human?!?! Why was this skill not practiced in her house...and is it a skill that NEEDS to be practiced. And why wasn't she happy with the way her kids were bringing her the broom!! I guess pushing the broom, by the bristles, out of the broom closet with their feet just wasn't good enough for her!!! Creative thinking!! COME ON think outside the box woman!!!! I would have just been excited that a broom was making its way towards ME!!! They were doing what the woman had requested. The broom was not still sitting in the closet....it was TRAVELING, en route, although probably at the pace of the space shuttle towards its launch pad...but it was a coming! Oh, it gets better, because the whole kicker to this is the sweet, innocent, bewildered, I am not sure if this is right, voice that came from her adorable muffin man when he so angelicly said:

"Like that?!??????"

Ohhhhhh the laughter that ensued on my part at the utterance of those sweet words! Where were the accolades......where was the praise!?! The razzing must being!! Why was ~A~ not raising normal children?!?!? How did they not know how to carry brooms!! Bravo child!! Bravo!! I then had to ask ~A~ is she, herself, even knew what a normal human being was and if she didn't how did she expect her children to?!?! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.........oh so funny. Did I mention the fact that MY children had been quiet and occupied the entire time?!?!? Oh no.......well they were. (again...nanny nanny boo boo)

After must guffawing etc. at my dear friend she herself starts to giggle hysterically. Because at the end of it all.....her oldest (and hence most wisest) heaves a heavy sigh and proclaimed

"Its hard having kids."

So true dear Button......so true!!
