Mayday!

1.

Jonah calls da-da
from cribbed naptime rebellion.
(Mom pretends he sleeps).

2.

Toy speaks languages
(I can’t even say which ones)
Hindi? Japanese?

3.

Wheels on busses
Go round and round and round with
Elmo at the helm.

4.

Screaming in Wal-Mart,
kicking and blowing boogers:
I am that mother.

5.

Time for the car seat!
No cry cry, no no cry cry…
struggle, snot, and drool.

6.

Not your day, monkey.
Mama needs to up her Prozac
before you kill her.
