Transitions Of Doom

Sometimes after a long day of homework, pet and house duties and “stuff”, I lay in bed at night and think about how far my boys have come. From microscopic specs, to kicking creatures cramped inside my womb, to daredevil one year olds, and now intelligent and bubbly people. It truly is an amazing experience for me, to be my boys’ mother.

All children and even adults, go through transitions right? So what happens if you have multiple children in transition at the exact same time?? I’ll tell you what happens! It’s a phenomenon I like to call
“GOD, HELP ME!”

First, Subject C. At any given time can be as cuddly as a sleepy baby kitten, and then turn around and sprout horns and fly around the room screeching like a pterodactyl “You made me mad Mom!!!”. TRANSITION: Toddler to boy

Next, Subject B. Can remember specific names of Pokemon or Magic the Gathering card names, their abilities and power and toughness, or that you told him two days ago that you’d make him hot chocolate on thursday morning. But looks at you like you have a gross booger the size of Texas hanging from your nose, when you are distraught that he didn’t tell you about the dog pee on the door mat, cause he “forgot” to tell you.  TRANSITION: Boy to kid

Last, Subject L. Will be getting a “talking to” for breaking rules 7, 11, 15, 19, 21, and 41, only to then break rule 7 AGAIN while his punishment is being explained to him. Making his mother and father turn prematurely gray with his smarty pants attitude and facial expressions. TRANSITION: Kid to teen
