Did you know that yesterday was international coffee day? A wonderful day I’m sure you’ll agree! Although, every day is coffee day around here.
The thing is, children seem to come with an in-built radar that detects when you want to have a nice hot drink. They seem determined to make it as difficult as possible for us to make a coffee or tea, and then make it damn near impossible to drink it while it’s actually still hot!
Here I give you 5 thoughts that I’m sure my children have when I go to make a cup of coffee.
1) Look, Mummy’s going in the kitchen. I’d better ask for a biscuit/some chocolate/a drink.
2) Hmm, Mummy’s clearly trying to do something in the kitchen. I think she needs me to go in and squeeze myself in the gap between her legs and the work surface.
3) Ah, Mummy’s coming back with her hot drink; now’s the time to cling to her legs and ask to be picked up.
4) Ohh, Mummy’s just sat down with her drink. I’d better ask her to go and get me a biscuit/some chocolate/a drink.
5) Right, Mummy’s just about to start drinking her coffee, this is the opportunity I’ve been waiting for to tell her that I need a clean nappy. Mwah ha ha ha.
Ha! Yep, sounds perfectly true here too. In fact, if I ever want to get anything myself from the kitchen the same applies! #TheList
Yes to all of them! (Although we’re fortunately out of the diaper phase. Thank god!) And #3 is more “Hey, mommy has a hot drink! I’m going to use her as a jungle gym!” #thelist
There’s definitely some kind of conspiracy going on. My two’s best tactic for derailing me having a hot drink is to simultaneously have poo explosions! #thelist
