To those of you who do not know the ‘joy’ of the incessant question asking 2 year old, let me bring you up to speed. ITS THE MOST ANNOYING TORTURE EVER! I swear Kahlen asks me at least 50 times a day “Where did baby Khloe go?” The most infuriating part is that 9 out of 10 times she is standing RIGHT BESIDE KHLOE, LOOKING AT HER! Other Favorite questions are “Where is daddy?” “Where did Auntie go?” and “What’s that sound?”
Somewhere around the 30th time Kahlen asked me “What’s that sound?” today, my mind began to wander.
What IS that sound? It’s the sound of the washing machine clunking. Yup, Ive done it again. I’ve gone and broken the washing machine again. What a faking nightmare. I don’t want to sit on the phone waiting for some half-witted idiot, working for minimum wage, to tell me that its going to take 2 weeks for some resentful Sears representative to even come look at the damn machine. I can barely go 2 days without doing laundry! Don’t they understand I have two kids. Gaw. THAT is the sound of frustration! THAT is the sound of wasted hours sitting at home to the repair guy that is at least 3 hours late! THAT is the sound of….
and then Kahlen exclaims “Music!”. Oh, she was asking about the sound of the music coming from her much beloved toy piano from Auntie Kim (I WILL get you back for getting her such a loud toy!). Oops. My bad!
Later today Kahlen asks, for the 40-somethingth time, “where did daddy go?” And I find my mind wandering again.
Where DID daddy go? Your right kiddo. Where has he gone? He just hasn’t been himself lately. I know this whole Cancer (do you capitalize it?) thing has been really stressful for him. The looming surgery date is making us all a bit tense and short with each other. I dont feel like myself either. Maybe I should plan a nice dinner for us all, just enjoy some time together without thinking about the tumors in his lungs. yeah, a nice dinner… maybe something from that new Rachel Ray cookbook he bought me… I think he bookmarked some chicken dish….
And then Kahlen exclaims “There! There! In da picture TV (her term for our digital picture frame)! There is Daddy and Kahlen on a slide!” Oh right, she was asking about the pictures… oops my bad.
Sometimes I feel like screaming “NO! NO! NO!!!! NO QUESTIONS TODAY!!!” But really… thats like asking..ummm… like asking… uhhh… SHIT I can’t even come up with a good reference here… STUPID quetsions have me spent… Okay… Im done!
(I Kid you not!!! JUST as I finished typing this I hear Kahlen on the monitor… “MOoommmmyyyy. Where are you?” HA! Insult to injury!)
