Question time
After all those years I really should know better than to celebrate Mr Jones' for once relatively undisturbed sleep by watching Merlin till 4 a.m. Two well rested children are trying on the best of days - after three hours of sleep they are hell.
And lead to the Big Questions In Life With Children:
Is it possible to raise them without yelling? For a saint, perhaps?
When will the anal stage finally end? (Questions like "Did you do a really big poop, Mama Bear?" get tiring pretty, pretty soon...)
Is it a bad sign when you use your son's invented words in conversion with your partner? ("What are you doing?" - "Pusila!")
And who cares, when you come home carrying 10 rolls of toilet paper, and the child grabs the packet, cheering: "A pirate boat!"
