So - here's my latest Mean Mom moment... and it literally JUST happened:
Thing One is getting into pajamas as I'm putting away clothes up in his and 2's room. We are talking as he's laying on the floor pontificating about the latest Lego mag he rec'd in the mail today. I watch him proceed to pick his nose, mid-sentence, and without missing a beat, looks at it and then WIPES it on the drawer under his bed.
WHAT?!!
Me: Go get a tissue and clean that off RIGHT NOW.
1: Why do you care? It's not your room anyway. (can we say sassafras?!!)
Me (fuming): I CARE, because I paid for this stuff and I want it to be nice. Besides that is just gross and you don't do that anyway! Would you want your friends to know you did that?!
1: No... but they won't ever know.
Me: Try me. If I EVER see you do that again, I just might spill your little secret.
1: And tell who?
Me: (silence)
1: WHO? ... WHO?.... WHO?!
Me: Someone you don't want to know.
1: WHO?! Like Jackson?? (his bestest pal)
Me: You don't want Jackson to know?
1: NOOOOOO.
Me: Then don't do it and your secret is safe with me. (thinking: me and the internet world that is... bwaaaha ha ha haaaaaaa - in my meanest mom laugh)
Thing One then gets up and leaves, only to return with a tissue and find previously mentioned booger and wipes it clean.
Mean Mom?
Definitely.
Effective.
Oooooh yeah.......
(didn't I mention in a previous post that I threaten a lot... yeah, kind of another instance of a threat...)
