Scenes from Motherhood
The Barbarian: Mommy, I'm done.
[Gets up from table. Hugs me. Rubs PARMESEAN CHEESE COVERED FACE ON MY FLEECE.]
Me: Ew! You're covered in cheese! Do you have a napkin?!?!
The Barbarian: I'm covered in cheese?!
AG33: I need to heat up my pizza.
[Barbarian goes to peer at her reflection in the fridge door. I go get her a napkin.]
Me: Wipe your face.
The Barbarian: There's no cheese!
[Barbarian goes to window. I chase her waving a napkin.]
Me: That's because you probably put it all on me! WIPE YOUR FACE YOU MANIAC! Do you want some orange juice?
[AG33 puts pizza in microwave. I get OJ from fridge.]
Me: Barbarian! Do you want OJ?
The Barbarian: There's no cheese on my face!
[I shake OJ at Barbarian]
The Barbarian: Yes!
[I get glass for OJ. AG33 walks over to get a glass.]
[AG33 reaches around me into cabinet.]
AG33 [Frankenstein voice]: WOR TOR!
Why, family? Why?
