Boys

Tonight I sat at dinner silent. I couldn't help it, not that the room wasn't lit up with conversation, but that it all revolved around idiocy. I knew having all boys was a bit of a challenge but I never thought Id end up quietly eating my dinner while the world around me bored me to tears. I could not care LESS about Halo and Transformers and Yugio and Mario party and the list gets longer trust me. I just sat there listening while I talked to myself in my head and tried to choke down some hideous concoction of tofu chicken gardenburger garbage. Id sooner have eaten garbage. Anyway...Just a thought,probably all mothers at some time wonder at what point their children's life took over their own. Maybe birth, no probably during pregnancy. I wonder if you ever get it back or if I am forever stuck with Yugio at the table. It could get worse hmmm....I bet there will even come a day when I miss these 3 hour conversations my boys seem to insist on sharing with me. You know the strange part is my husband thoroughly enjoys these conversations, he even knows what the heck they are talking about. I know I should be an expert on such things by now but the mere mention of the word Yugio or Transformer and I swore my ears stop working and my head starts hurting! Its like on the cartoons where everything starts spinning and you hear echoes in the background but you don't get what they are saying. I know now what the writers of Charlie brown were implying with the teacher saying wah wahh wa wahh wa wah. Maybe that's what I hear.
