A new heart

Trying to get Mary and David (David!) out of the door and into their car seats does not bring out the best in me.

This morning as I was--with frustration verging on anger--trying to shove David's feet into his shoes, he interrupted, "You need a hug!"

"Not right now," I mumbled, "I'm trying to put on your shoes."

"Mommy, you need a new heart."

"Why do I need a new heart?"

"Because you are mean."

Yes, I am mean.  I need a new heart.

My kids wore out my old one.

[I hope you all know me (and David) well enough to know that this post is funny.]
