the mommy thing

Yesterday morning, Andy was yelling "MOM!!! Tommy's fingerprints are blocking my dvd screen !!" So, after getting their breakfast, I grabbed the Windex and couple of paper towels to take care of the screen. I sprayed some on the paper towels and went to work on the screen. As I was engrossed in the cleaning, Tommy grabbed the Windex and sprayed himself in the eye. He screamed. He screamed at me. (go figure, as I was the ogress that placed it on the table) As I was trying to comfort him, I chuckled. Andy looked at me with aghast. I just thought, Tommy had unknowingly tried to wash the windows to his soul..........try explaining that chuckle to a 5 year old. Still trying to get this mommy thing down.
