Don’t get me wrong, I love my children. Anybody who knows me will attest that they are most certainly my world! I have an 8 yr old daughter and 4 and 6 yr old boys. Each one is as a unique as can be to! They are the best of friends and the worst of enemies. Depending on the day they can act as mini-tornados throughout the house and yet all I hear is “it wasn’t me!”, “he did it!”, “she told me too!” and my personal fave “it was all ready like this!” It’s days like that as well as so many others, that sometimes make me wonder if my children have secret meetings to discuss certain topics such as:
1) How to make Mom lose her cool while we’re in public in record time.
2) Make sure to misbehave the moment Mom is on the phone or in the bathroom. *Bonus points if we use that high pitch squeal in our voice she cant stand!
3) Just how many Cheerios can we dump on the kitchen floor before Mom goes postal on us?
4) Only use the permanent markers on the wall everyone can see as they come in the house. Not the hidden walls of course.
5) How all 3 of us can pull her in 3 different directions all at once. Screaming “MOMMEEEEEEEE!” As loud as we can than stand back and watch her react and pretend to be surprised when she loses her.ever.lovin.mind!
6) Give her lots of hugs & kisses and bat our eyes so we can live another day! That’s why Heavenly Father made us so cute so we would survive right?
So do you think your children hold secret meetings too? Tell me some of your favorite antics they have pulled off lately!

Haha, yes I think they hold meetings on how quickly they can get me to want to give tgem away at the grocery store!
Oh man, grocery stores+kids=nightmare on mommy street!
Love this and thanks for the reassurance I am the only one that feels this way
Sometimes we need that reassurance as moms don’t we? 😉
Oh wow! I think these are universal!! There must be kid meetings or a kid code on how to unerve your folks! The telephone one is always one that gets me!!
I think you might be onto something there Heidi!
Well, I only have one but I think he does sit and plot. His cousin has been with us all summer and I have decided they do the meetings too.
Ha! They don’t even have to be siblings to plot! lol!
