...you could turn them off for just a minute or two? Or maybe three or four?
When I was a teenager, my mom told me about how she used to feel like her head was going to explode due to my older brother's incessant question asking. She said from the minute he got up, until the minute he went to sleep, he was talking. Asking why this, or how does that, or what is this, or who smells like what? She said his talking literally made her brain hurt.
Me: "MOTHER! That is so mean! He was just a little boy. How on earth could you think something like that about a sweet curious little fella like that? What kind of mom feels that way?"
Mom (smiles knowingly): "A mom with kids, that's what kind of mom."
I walked away completely appalled. I thought to myself, boy, if I ever had children, I would treasure their every word. I would use every question as an opportunity to shape their sweet innocent little minds into the perfect little beings I just knew I could and would produce.
(sigh)
Cut to me having three kids.
And then, cut to me totally eating my words.
Yes, mother. You were right. Again.

First of all that picture is hilarious! I love it. Where can I purchase such a contraption? And is the wiring difficult? Can I do it myself or do I need to take them in to a specialist to get it hooked together?
Secondly. Hilarious. I eat my words all the time. Being a Mom is many things...humbling is one.
Lastly how did you do your cute signature at the end of your posts?
I want one.
Okay, you come up with a way to make this thing work, and I'll come up with some adorable marketing, and packaging strategy and we'll both be rich...... and oh so happy with the silence in the house!
Oh gosh, LOVE the picture. I totally sympathize, too! We have this little boy @ school who is adorable, but talks ALLLLLLLLL the time. We breathe a sigh of relief when he actually takes a nap and the mouth stops for a few minutes ;)
