He's amused, this boy-man of mine, perhaps more with himself than me; he knows . He likes this power, the ingenuity to hold me hostage, to keep me waiting and wondering, the ability to make me laugh. It is his super power and he brandishes it at will with ease and gratification.
Pinching his lips into victor's smirk, he extends his arm, unclinches his fingers and reveals his secret trinket–
"A fetus…!"

There are no words as I glance back and forth between the naked little baby in his hand and his ear to ear grin.
Ai yi yi…that coupled with my youngest son's proud declaration as he emerges from the bathroom later that day "…nothing but bowl, Mom!"–we're talking post-touchdown, ball-spiking Victory Dance–and I'm thinking someone, soon, is gonna revoke my mother credentials.
And with my boys in rare form I'll have little to plead my case.
This has Thomas(‘s?) name aaaalllllllllllll over it…. goodness gracious.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH!
Oh – I LOVES this and blogged about it on our Pro-Life blog. http://whywereprolife.blogspot.com/2011/03/baby-in-one-hand.html Thanks for being the example of a PRO-Life Mom.
God bless you.

Oh my goodness!! You had quite a day! But, hey, at least it wasn’t “Nothin’ but floor.” 🙂
Just popped by to say Hi, Robin! Thanks for visiting Chrysalis the other day. Yes, I’m still hosting Marriage Monday, and loving it.
Your fetus is SO incredibly appropriate right.this.minute! Our daughter and SIL have just announced they’re expecting their first baby in late September. So we’re going to be e-gMom and e-gDad! (Or something along those lines.)
Trusting all is well with you and yours. Sounds like your kids are doing what kids do best… be themselves.
Blessings, e-Mom ?
Hehe! Cute fetus! Looking forward to for a baby?
