It didn’t start raining yet. Two neighbor boys (J and J) came over and picked up light sabers. I announced, “Sorry guys, there’s no Star Wars in our yard today.” They acquiesced, but those that live here responded with What? Why not? Huh?
Mom-Aunt: Because it’s a Mom Sanity Zone today.
Everyone else: Huh? What does that mean?
M-A: It means I can’t handle Star Wars today.
Of course, when the rain does begin (70% chance), they will be given permission for PlayStation Star Wars Legos. Until then, I’ve created a boundary to give myself a semblance of authority and control. We all know it’s a farce.
Now they are playing “Barbarian Invasion” (with sabres) in the neighbors’ yard.
Rain, rain, come our way…
