My kids are really great, and I love them to distraction, but it's mornings like today's that make me feel dishonest when people coo "Oh, your children are so well behaved!" Yeah... I slept in (sign of a bad mom), had breakfast, chatted with my offspring, all was well. My mistake was thinking I could take a shower. It was like some kind of transporter that sent me to reality. I stepped out to hear

"Give it BACK!" "NO it's MINE!" "I had it FIRST!" "Give it BACK!"

Wonderful. All drippy with a towel around me I went downstairs to be greeted by the sight of my darling children wrestling (in tears, both of them) over... what IS that? Oh, of course. A Lego Pirate head. Not the whole Lego dude, just the head. Sigh...
