"I Want the Snowman One!"

I have three bowls in my kitchen that DRIVE ME CRAZY...

Well, I guess it's not actually the bowls that put me over the edge

but the way the boys are about them.

On the mornings (which is almost every morning)

that I open the cupboard to get bowls for the oatmeal

and realize that these three are the only clean ones I cringe.

I know that as soon as the boys come into the kitchen

I will here things like:

"I want the snowman one!"

"I don't want the angel one!"

"Quick, get the bear one!"

"Ha ha, Allan has to have the angel one!"

Or visaversa and so on...

"Argh! Don't worry about it!", I say. But it never

seems to help. Why does it have to be such an issue!!??

I never know which one to give to which kid because

I know that whatever I do someones not gonna be happy.

Am I giving my kids a complex by giving them the angel one?

When I do, I here things like:

"I always have to have the angel one!"

"I hate the angel one!"

Do they think I love them less for giving them the angel one?

(I do try to make it even.)

They think it's for girls even though I've tried to tell them that

the only angels I've ever heard of where boys...

believe me, I've tried everything. ;)

EXCEPT: Throwing them out and getting some

simple thrifted plain ones!

Yeah! Maybe that's what I should do!

Now I just gotta remember next time I'm in town....

I bought those bowls before I ever had children...

if only I had known!

I've definitely learned my lesson...

never again will I buy cute bowls with pictures on the side!

P.S. I know this is all pretty trivial but I wanted to blog about it just for fun. ;)
