Or, in this case, the tears.
This started, innocently enough, as a tumble with Mommy on the grownups bed as Daddy finished getting dinner ready. But rough and tumble fun turned to rough play and somebody's little foot hit somebody else in the mouth.
Ohmifuckinggod. The tears.
Cuddling, ice and caresses had no effect.
Mojo was unable to do anything but ride out the storm.
Tears, oh the bitter, bitter tears.
Enough wailing for a dozen operas. More fingerpointing than a Mafia trial. Muffled cries of "She kicked me!" mingled with sobs of "Shea-shea!!" It was Drama multiplied by melodrama that only preschool and toddler can produce...a heartrending chorus of absolute and unconsolable sorrow.
Stay up for eight seconds and win the prize.

I'll have to keep the 'ride the bucking mommy' tip for future reference. Sounds like a good one.
"...parenting with the bark still on." I like it.
Childrearing: not for the faint of heart.
