Why mommies sometimes need alcohol….

Seth and I were in the kitchen Saturday and he asked me a question…
Seth: “Mommy are you happy?”
Me: (Smile at Seth. Give him a hug.) “How can I not be? I’m with my wonderful little bunny. “
Seth: (Smiles back) “Mommy are you happy?”
Me: (Smiles back again) “Yes Seth, I am.”
Seth: (Decides this isn’t enough) “Mommy are you happy?”
Me: (Look at him quizzically because, haven’t I established this already?) “Ye-ah.”
Seth: “Mommy are you happy?”
Me: (said with irritated, curt tone) “Yes Bun. I’m happy.”
Seth: (pauses a few seconds then ventures yet again) “Mommy are you happy?”
Me: (Growing more irritated. WHAT is he trying to do to my sanity? I’m trying to do four things at once here!) “Yes Seth, now stop asking me that question. I’m HAPPY, I’m HAPPY! For the love of all things holy, I’m HAPPY!”
Yeah, I’m HAPPY dammit! (Pauses. Breathes slowly for 5 minutes. Then whips out candy bar — the one reserved for “emotional emergencies” — and slowly eats it. Whew. )
Ok, NOW I’m happy again….

Oh that is funny and errily like half the conversations I have with my son
But WHY?
No shit, right?
Then you throw the Bitty Shoe…
But are you happy?
And I second Ranger Tom’s “why?”.
That’s funny and so cute with how concerned Seth is with your well-being. Maybe you’ve got a little social worker on your hands???
LMFAO- next time smack him and say “mommy always beats you when she’s happy.”
LOL
Lisa–Thanks for visiting and commenting! This post made me laugh OUT LOUD! I’m linking you up. You are hysterical!
THANKS for the laugh.
Just keep in mind that if one drink turns into many, you get the repeated questions during the hangover, too. Like me yesterday. “Mama, go outside?” “No baby, Daddy’s busy with sharp things in the garage, and I don’t feel well enough to go outside.” “But Mama, go outside?” Over and over.
I had to write a letter on my own blog to myself not to do that again.
Are you SURE you’re happy?
LOL so how long did it take him to stop?
Seth is too funny. I agree with Ranger Tom’s “why”…I can hear him already “Why are you happy mommie?”
Wny? Why? WHY??!!!
I’m with you - sometimes alcohol is essential.
But are you really really happy .
I love the persistence! It means he’s focused, no need to worry about ADD.
Well, maybe I’m an evil Mom, but when my 10 yr old ()when he was much younger)used to do that I turned it around on him, so maybe you can try, “Seth are you happy? Seth are you Happy? Seth are you HAPPY? Seth are YOU HAPPY?
But WHYYYYYYY?
