he ain't no share bear

yesterday the kids received easter presents from their beloved nana and papa. toys r us messed up and sent 2 of the chunk's present, something that has confuseled the ge monster for the last 24 hours. we have had many a conversation about why nana sent chunk 2 presents and he only got 1. the realities of the additional present are impossible to explain to him and he simply cannot get over it. this morning he was lying on the floor playing with chunk's new rolly turtle happily. he looked up at me and said, "hey mom, it's nice to share!" to which i replied, "yes, you can share your toys with chunky, too." "well, no," he said back to me "today just chunky is going to be nice."

shhhhhhhhh ...

chunk actually napped today. that makes the first time she has slept for more than 10 minutes in what seems like forever. when you don't get any sleep for weeks on end the days all seem to drift together; sort of like the lifetime movie network. i filled my time cleaning the crazy out of our home and answering question after question from ge. 3 year olds really have the words "what" and "why" on lock down.

"mom, what are these?"

"ducks."

"what kind of ducks?"

"yellow ducks."

"what kind of yellow ducks?"

"the kind of yellow ducks that don't say moo."

"why don't they say moo?"

"because they aren't cows."

"why aren't they cows?"

"because they are ducks."

"what kind of ducks?"

it sort of feels like a hardcore version of pete and repeat sitting on a fence except pete falls down a very alice in wonderland type well and someone is taking acid and the words just keep flying by in different sorts of font and size. it's just. that. intense.

30 for 30 starts tomorrow. i am hoping to get my blog on for 30 continuous days. it's about to get blogified up in kerry land. you have been warned.

understatement

ge : "mom, why is polly being drama?"

me : "i don't know. when you were a baby you didn't do that, though."

ge : "yeah, but now sometimes i am lots of drama."
