Six times. And I said please. Big E didn't budge from his spot on the floor and Little E remained precariously balanced on the edge of the ottoman like he was preparing for an Olympic dive. Neither one acknowledged that they actually heard or saw me. Was I a ghost? Was I Bruce Willis?
I want to be the non-yelling, calm mom. I really do. I don't want to nag my sons to the point that they leave for college and never return. Or call. Or acknowledge we are related.
But instead I lost my sh*t. It was the end of the day. As usual, I was exhausted and wanted to get the boys down so I could finish my chores and go to bed.
So I yelled.
HEY!
Super loud and fast. Both boys levitated from their spots.
MOMMY, YOU SCARED ME!
Little E went running to the bathroom like he was on fire, nervously laughing while keeping his eye on the forever unstable Mrs. Yoy.
I WAS JUST CONDUCTING A HEARING CHECK. I GUESS YOU GUYS CAN STILL HEAR.
