Bad Mommy Moment

[gansje]

The children have a new figurine.  It is approximately two inches high.  Its name is Tom.  Apparently, Tom has already become imbued with a soul.  Tom must accompany one or both of the children everywhere -- the consequences of it not doing so are unclear but apparently very bad.  There is either fighting over Tom or there are small voices piping all over the house, "Tom?  Tom?  Tom?  Tom?  Tom?" ad infinitum.

As you may have guessed, I am responsible for Tom's presence.

I hate Tom.

Here's hoping that the era of Tom passes quickly, and that he soon becomes a relic of a bygone time so inconsequential that even the most dedicated historians pass up the opportunity to scrutinize it! ;)
