Moses is not the only one who could part the sea. . . Brendan has a touch of the divine too. . .if he can part a sea of people by screaming at the top of his lungs down the mall, I imagine he can do it with water too. The decibel of his scream would certainly cause fish and other sea creatures to swim wildly in the opposite direction causing water to spurt up, leaving Brendan, and sadly me, in the middle, the only two animals being subjected to the horrible sounds emitting from his mouth.
Today, in an effort to have fun and get out of the house we went to see Gulliver's Travels and I thought surely the kids would enjoy running up an down the mall afterwards. . . . little did I know it would end in an epic tantrum by the one and only Brendan. I had to carry him, literally, kicking and screaming down the mall and he didn't stop screaming until about 5 minutes after we got home.
My poor kids . . . sometimes I'm not the best mom on normal days but when I am subjected to that type of noise for extended periods of time I become incapacitated, paralyzed, and completely unable to behave in any rational, nice, comforting, or loving way. It makes me want to throw the same kind of tantrum, lay on the floor kicking and screaming.
I think I will be able to wait til the end of the day to start my tantrum . . . is it over yet?
