Childs Play.
I was standing at the sink, contemplating my navel scrubbing crusted weet-bix off a bowl that ‘Mr Nobody’ mysteriously placed in the sink, when 2 soft arms wrapped around my waist.
‘Play with me Mummy’
‘Soon, Boo, I just need to finish these dishes’
He wandered off.
Seconds later, the arms snaked around my waist again. Hugging that little bit tighter.
‘Play with me Mummy’
‘OK. I’m coming’
The dishes can wait.
Into the lounge room. He sits me on the couch and disappears, reappearing with a pillow and a blanket.
‘Sit here’
I oblige.
He puts the pillow behind my head.
‘Put arms like this’
He motions for me to cross my arms across my chest, hands resting on my shoulders.
I do as I am told, wondering what on earth this game is all about.
He picks up the blanket. Folded in two, lays it on my lap as he pushes my head back on the pillow.
Then the blanket is unfolded. The rest over the top of my head.
‘Now you are dead.’
Yeah, thanks.

At least dead people don’t have to do the dishes.

ROFL!
What do you say to that?
(BTW, I found you via Jeanie and will be back

I was waiting for the sweet little punchline. I should have known I was reading your blog, Kelley. This is hilarious.
March 2nd, 2008 at 5:21 pm
*giggle* Wish my kids would play that game with me.
Could do with a lie down on the couch.

What a fun game to play! LOL. It could have been worse - I mean, apparently there’s a game called “Let’s beat the crap outta Katie”. My cousins played that game when I went to England. They were armed with cricket bats and tiny toy trucks which really hurt when thrown at the face.

Soooo glad he didn’t also bury you in the yard.Grave digging plays havoc with the garden beds, although I’ve heard blood and bone is good for roses.
March 2nd, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Naomi: good point!!!
A: Not a lot. I am dead.
Stimey: Yes my life is never ’sweet’
Lightening: Bit stifling when it is the blanket he wipes his arse with.
Katie: *snigger* mine used to play ‘fart on Kelley’s head’ and ’scare the shit outta Kelley in the middle of the night with Michael from Halloween’
River: How is it for weeds? Cause that is about all that is flourishing in my garden.
March 2nd, 2008 at 7:49 pm
And when Boo wants to play hide ‘n’ seek in that old refrigerator - DONT DO IT.
Gotta love a kid with a morbid imagination.
March 2nd, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Lol!!
Happy Mothers Day!
March 2nd, 2008 at 9:53 pm
ROFL. At least you got to lie down. That’s gotta be better than dishes…
March 2nd, 2008 at 10:42 pm
Blood and bone meal is full of nitrogen. Weeds would love it.
March 2nd, 2008 at 11:29 pm
lol loved this post
March 2nd, 2008 at 11:32 pm
LOL That was soooo funny
Aww bless, he’s so cute!
March 2nd, 2008 at 11:48 pm

You’d best be making a miraculous recovery if he decides to play autopsy!
March 3rd, 2008 at 12:01 am

cheers kim xxx

As soon as I read to cross your arms over your chest I knew what was coming…hah! At least he gave you a pillow and blanket…you’re a comfortably warm dead person!
So much better than dishes!
March 3rd, 2008 at 4:04 am
LMAO!
March 3rd, 2008 at 7:15 am
You did use the opportunity to nap, didn’t you?
March 3rd, 2008 at 8:05 am
LOL - sounds like a *fun* game - and yep, glad he didn’t decide to play autopsies.
March 3rd, 2008 at 11:41 am
Anja: But WHHHHYYYYY???? It is freaking hot here and the fridge is so nice and cooooool!
Casdok: And to you too my lovely.
Robin: Good point. But I would have preferred a blanket that had not been previously used as toilet paper…. with visual evidence.
Solomon: Hmmmm I could start a gardening revolution! Au Naturel.
Cathy: What? You want me dead? I better watch my back then……. *snort*
Marilyn: Yes, adorable. Especially when he joins up with those freaking Teletubbies and plot my death.
Bettina: *gaffaw* better hide the knives!
Kim: Yeah me too. Too is on a ‘health kick’ so weet-bix for breakfast. And that is about as far as it went.
Alison: I thought you might. Given my family history of madness, *snigger*.
Jenty: Yes I was AFTERWARDS. At the time I was so shocked I think I might have actually looked dead!
Ree: Shit. Didn’t think of that!
Kelly: Me too!

March 3rd, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Oh, that’s gorgeous. A little scary perhaps, but gorgeous.
March 3rd, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Bettina says:
“lmao!!
You’d best be making a miraculous recovery if he decides to play autopsy!”

T’was joking, fair Kelley. *giggles wildly*

March 4th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Jayne: So I should take embalming fluid off the shopping list then?
Trish: LOL. That is my freaky little man.
Anja: biatch. You would too!
Tracey: Yeah thanks, encourage the kid!
BC: Perhaps I should suggest he plays it with the neighbours kids?
Iceel: *gulp*
VE: starting with wrapping your arms around his waist?
Widdle Shamrock: Will be right over, after I wash the shit and toothpaste off the walls…. sigh.
Fab: I keep tellin’ ya….
Magpie: No time for the cocktail just a couple of bottles of spirits and a straw.
March 4th, 2008 at 11:53 am
Do you think he wants to be a mortician when he grows up?
March 4th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Nah Kelley,keep buying the embalming fluid coz it’s got soooo many uses!
Then again, you’ve busted your toe and they shoot horses, don’t they ?

Goaldeebug: God help me then!
Jayne: Noice. Noice.
Xbox4NappyRash: Better hide the bunny then. Cause if she doesn’t shit out foil coloured eggs on Easter morning Boo will be might pissed.
Angel: Sleeping with my nunchucks!
March 7th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
maybe you need to sneak a few foil eggs into the rabbit hutch the night before easter so he’s not disapointed then?
March 7th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
I wouldn’t be worried about Anja teaching Boo how to play autopsy until she also teaches how to write death certificates………………
