Don't Anger the Mama Bear

It has been two days since David has napped.  The poor guy has a yucky cold and desperately needs sleep.  Finally, his little body caught up with him and he has been sound asleep since 2:15.



But then.....

Front doorbell rings entire grandfather clock tune

I run to door, fling it open, see four neighborhood boys running around the back of my house

I run to dining room window, fling it open, and begin dialogue.

Me: "WHO RANG MY DOORBELL?"

Neighborhood boy #1: "He did!"  (Points at neighborhood boy #2)

Me: "I DON'T CARE WHO RANG IT.  MY BABY IS SICK AND TRYING TO TAKE HIS NAP.  YOU WILL NOT RING MY DOORBELL AGAIN!"

Neighborhood boys #1-4: (Look sheepishly at each other with slightly frightened eyes)

Me: "GOT IT?!"

Neighborhood boy #2 (the guilty one): Got it.

Shut window and receive ample praise from my husband! Heave sigh of relief because David is still sound asleep!
