#3: Motherhood is just another day

Ah!

A shriek from the other room. What the hell was that?

I run in, soapy spatula still in hand from doing the dishes. I scan the room quickly for where my kids are this minute.

Oh, of course. My child is testing the limits of physics!

What are you doing? Are you okay?

They giggle and laugh. Likely thinking I’m insane.

Why is mom so worried? Doesn’t she know we just like to play?

Oh, the innocence of children. All fun and games. Their injuries only hurting for a second until they’re back up and onto the next thing.

I shake my head and go back to the dishes. Listening to them laughing while I carry on with getting through the next few minutes.
