E: Mommy, you look very pretty in that shirt.

Me: Why thank you baby.

E: Can you wear another shirt when you pick me up from school?

Me: But you just said I look pretty in this shirt.

E: I know, but you look so pretty it's hurting in my eyes.

Nanny 911

When I refer to The Emperor of my Universe, I'm sure some of you think it's just a cutesy little affectation of an indulgent mother.

It's not. I've spawned a little Napoleon. Y'see, I refer to him sometimes as "my late in life baby" but it's not like I was 47 or anything. I was a whopping 36 when he was born. Compared to the other kids, yes he was significantly later, but c'mon I wasn't worried about breaking a hip or anything.

The problem with having a baby through artificial means and being OLD and knowing he's your last is that you tend to coddle. And baby. And hate the sound of their tears. You find yourself scrambling for rose petals to fling in their path when they stumble from the bed to the bathroom. Think Eddie Murphy in Coming to America-and that's the E.

However. Here's the dark side. He began to set his own bedtime and in his mind, it's a carnival up until he falls over in a coma around 1 am. He jumps on the bed, he throws my (non waterproof) pretty pretties in my bathwater, he gets in the refrigerator for a "midnight snack so I can be strong and hellfy", he uses my cell phone to call Hong Kong. I, however, would like something akin to a social life with other adults and that's chiefly accomplished by phone since I'm soooooooooo far away from all the cool people. It's impossible with a small child hitting you in the face with a Spiderman pillow.

I'm embarrassed to even call SuperNanny or Nanny 911. Those families are intact nuclear families with 11 bratty kids. In my casa, it's just one 44 pound tyrant who has an emotional cattle prod trained on his mother.

So, if you hear wailing and gnashing of teeth coming from the Southeast, hide. Mama's on a pissed off rampage and it ain't pretty.

The Emperor and Me 2

E: Mommy, is Disney World open today?
Me: Yes.
E: YAY! YAY! I wanna go! Let's go right now!
Me: No-we can't go today.
E: Ohhhhhhhhhh! I wanna gooooooooo!
Me: Jason, it costs money and mommy is broke.
E: So, go to the machine at the bank-they will give you the money.

The Emperor and Me

E: Mommmmeee, I need toilet paper.
Me: Jason, get it yourself.
E: I caaaan't, I'm on the potty.
Me: OK, be right there.
E: I made a biiiig poop-and it splashed my booty.
Me: Thanks for the information.
E: Mommy, what's funny about me?
Me: I don't know, what's funny about you?
E: Wook at my underwear.
Me: So fix it, it's twisted.
E: I can't-my underwear controls me.

STOP TOUCHING ME!!!



I love my son. I do. Really. A whole lot. BUT-if he doesn't stop touching me I will scream.


The Man turned 4 a couple weeks ago. Normal 4 year old boys really only want to eat dirt, hide worms in the couch and mainline Cocoa Pebbles. Not so my child-he wants to be touching me at.all.times. If I'm on the couch, he's on my lap with his head hanging down past my knees and his feet wrapped around my neck ( "I bein a bat, Mummy!"). If I'm sitting on the bed with my laptop, he's rightnextome with his feet patting the keyboard until I lose my mind and push him away.


At night when we sleep, I end up clinging to the teeny tiny cord on the edge of the mattress because he has to sleep justthiscloseatalltimes. As I type this, I'm sitting on the bed and he's right next to me, his torse and right arm glued to me from my hip all the way down to my knee. He can't go from Point A to Point B without crawling over my lap on the way.
I thought I would get my body back when I stopped breastfeeding, but apparently he just latched on to the rest of my flesh. Oy.
