I admit that last night, my back and ankle were killing me, about a 9 on the pain scale, so I took a pain killer. I admit that Thing 1 looked at the bottle and said, "OK, Mom, you need to tell your doctor to give you something different. These things are too strong, you can get hooked on them faster than you think, next thing you know, we won't have any food in the house, the lights will be shut off, you'll lose your job..." I admit that he was absolutely.... dead.... serious. I admit that his concern, albeit dramatic, was sweet, but it tickled my funny bone because I almost never even take a Tylenol, and have to be almost sawed in two before I take something for pain. I admit that I snorted while trying to hold in my inappropriate laughter at his face, and then errupted into a fit of hysterics that caused me to feel like I pulled a muscle under my ribs. I admit that he shouted, "OMG, MOM!!! See? Look what it's done to you already! Do I need to call poison control? Should I call Aunt [my older sister]? I warned you, and now it's too late... MOM!!! Stop laughing!!! Well this is just great, now I'm gonna be raised by a drug addict. Thank God, Daddy's coming home Friday because the cops could come and take us away at this point!" I admit that I was so far gone with laughter, tears were streaming down my face. I admit that Thing 1 was staring at me, totally deadpan with a bit of disgust mixed in. I admit that he shut the patio door because I was "laughing like a lunatic on drugs" and the neighbors would surely hear me and know that I was "under the influence of intoxicants." I admit that I looked at him and said, "Are you channeling your little sister right now?" I admit that he yelled, "[Thing 2]!!! OMG, I think Mom's hallucinating!!! She thinks I'm you!!!" I admit that I was in such pain from laughing that I could barely move, let alone post, last night. I admit that Thing 1 basically performed a field sobriety test on me in my own living room. I admit that I passed... but just barely he said. *brat*
