Just another day

Please don’t do that.
I’m not in the mood.
Put on your socks and shoes.
No, Oreos are not breakfast food.

Those shorts are ugly.
I didn’t do it.
But he got it out.
No, it’s not a zit.

Wash your face.
Take your pill.
Brush your teeth.
Will you just sit still?

No. Uh uh.
I’m not gonna do that.
It’s a free county.
NO.

Are you ready to go?
Do you have all your stuff?
What’s wrong now?
Don’t walk around in a huff!

Where’s my vocab?
I can’t find my cleat.
Did you pack my lunch?
Well, what am I supposed to eat?

Get your stuff.
It’s time to go.
You’ll be late!
IT’S TIME TO GO!

I don’t have any homework.
Oh, I forgot it at school.
Homework is boring.
I want to go to the pool.

I don’t really care.
I’m going to count to three.
Keep your hands to yourself.
Eyes. On. Me.

What’s for dinner?
No way I’m eating that.
Fine, I won't eat.
What's wrong with wearing a hat?

Clean up your mess.
Sit down in your seat.
That’s not acceptable.
Stop talking and eat.

Hey, I burped/farted.
You’re a dork.
He’s teasing me.
But I don’t like pork.

It tastes like chicken.
You’ve eaten it before.
If you don’t like the rules,
There’s the door.

But I took a shower last night.
Yes I used soap.
I’m going as fast as I can.
I know, I know, you’re at the end of your rope.

Am I laughing?
Do I look amused?
I suggest you stop.
I’m at the end of my fuse.

But I’m not tired.
I want to stay up.
I need to tell you about my day.
I need some water in a cup.

Get in bed.
Go to sleep.
It’s past your bedtime.
I don’t want to hear a peep.

I love you, Mama.
You’re the best.
I love you, too.
Get a good night’s rest.

Tomorrow will come.
Just another day.
Busy. Frustrating. Life.
I’d have it no other way.
