Momnesia

And that's how it's done

Emmie had a boatload of sugar at her cousin Sheridan's birthday. She was one bite short of vibrating.

At home, I try desperately to calm her down, but she wants to play.

"Emerson, take some deep breaths, please. It's time to chill out."

"ButbutbutbutMama! Less play! Less play Picnic!"

"No. It's time for bed, now, darling."

""Less play Shadow Puppets!"

"NO. Lay down and hush."

"Less play I Spy!"

"Okay." I click the lamp. "I spy something dark."

Hee.
