As a wife and a mother, a Stay-at-home-Mom at that, life is one long juggling session without an end in the foreseeable future. Only in the movies there is a magical solution for the weary parent. Such as Vin Diesel who is roped into being an impromptu nanny in that hilarious movie ‘The Pacifier‘. Yes, to dispel the blues, this is one of the movies I always like to watch. I like it, not for the great acting or the kick-ass action. But rather for Diesel trying to defend his bulging chest muscles from being slandered as man-boobs or rebuffing the flirtation of a 5-year old girl and other such hilarious situations.
Relaxing in a hot bath without Kiddo demanding my instant attention is a gift I’ve come to cherish and which sadly, doesn’t come often. Often in such instances, all he wants is his favorite monkey or some other stuffed animal but which, like the writing instruments in my house, has disappeared from sight. While he loses his things constantly, my Kiddo is adept at finding stuff I’ve misplaced, such as jewelry or a new CD. Or rather, that he’s seen me leave somewhere and later forget. So all I do is ask him and more often than not, he leads me straight to point X where the missing object is… provided he understands what I’m asking, of course.
Many a time I’ve asked him to show him where is the book that Mommy was reading just 5 minutes ago. He looks at me most seriously, sometimes with bafflement thrown in. Fighting the urge to laugh, I try synonyms first, then fall back invariably on everyone’s favorite method for conveying something to a person unable to understand them – I say the same thing over again, slooowly and in a loud voice. I can’t help but grin foolishly when I realize what I’m doing 
If he didn’t understand the word ‘book’ when I said it in a normal voice, what are the chances he’ll understand it when uttered 5 decibels louder.
Besides it’s summer already, or at least it is in my part of the world. I have no energy left to shout, the heat has sapped it all. Time to dream of beaches and waves and of all the wonderful places we are not going on vacation -Thanks to OPEC. Yes, my heartfelt felicitations to this OILY ORGANIZATION for making my dreams NOT come true. Maybe I should give them a call and thank them personally. Does anyone know their phone number?
