Tattle Tale

My kids went back to school today and even though they were not happy about it, I must say, I was a little. The sad part is the fact that Lexi is a Sophmore this year and Zach is starting his first year of Middle School. =(

This is the reason I am glad they are going back to school.
(see below)


Lexi- "Mom, Landen just hit me"
Me- "So"
Lexi- "Can you please tell him to stop."
Me- "Stop monkey"
Lexi-"Mom, he is popping my bra strap"
Me-"Seriously Lexi..He's 15 mos old. Let him be."
Lexi-"Mom he's hurting me"
Me- "Good grief Lexi, he's 15 mos old, how is he hurting you?" Irritated with Lexi, I pick him up and take him to "bubba's" room.(I just need a few minutes to clean up, vacuum, or whatever)

Literally, not even 1 minute later

Zach- "Mom, can you come get Landen, he is turning off my playstation"
Me- "Give him a controller so he thinks he is playing too"

(30 seconds later...)

Zach-"Mom, he turned off my playstation right in the middle of my game."
Me- "Oh good gosh, you kids are driving me crazy. Quit tattling on your little brother. Can you please just let him stay in there for a few more minutes so I can pick up in here"
(maybe 2 minutes later..If that)

Zach- "Are you done yet? Can you come get him now? He's getting into everything in my room, he won't leave me alone."
Me- (thinking to myself) This must be why people drink! Since I don't though, a little ibuprofen may help. =)

And seriously, this happens every day! Both older kids tattle on a little 15 mos old every day! =)
