Sleepovers
My 7yo had a friend sleep over last night and boy am I tired. He was so excited that he forgot how to behave so he was showing off the whole time, being very sassy, loud and just plain obnoxious. But it was his little brother that really drove me nuts. Naturally he wanted to play with the two older boys and it was a challenge to keep them separated. There was no hope of the three of them playing together. We got through the night, but this morning at 5:30 my son's friend woke up and went into little brother's room and scared the bejesus out of him. My 4yo started screaming like he fell out of bed and it took me a while to figure out what happened. Not a great start to the day for any of us! I figured I was in the clear because it was only two hours before the boy's mom came to get him. Alas, the 4yo found his favorite flashlight which is hidden in any given place throughout the house and whacked the friend with it in the head. We were doing so well up until that point too. Fortunately he was okay and I sent the boys outside to play. Minutes before the boy's mom arrived, my 7yo came running into the house with a bloody tongue. While he was convalescing, the friend's mom arrived and knew right away what had happened. She asked her son if he had put him up to it. "What?" I naively asked. "Sticking his tongue on a metal rod," she replied. "Oh, I don't need to know the details," I said. "Then I'll just have to yell at my son for being a knucklehead!" Note to self: have my son go to the friend's house next time.
