Anything But Gray

Today is the first day of summer vacation and me and my son have made a deal.

I had the front door open, to let in light….gotta have my light….especially given all of this horrid rainy weather we've been having for FOREVER.

Ben goes by the door and shuts it. For no reason. None.
I swear he did it just because he likes to annoy the fuck out of me.

So I yell at him to open the door. He opens it and takes off for the dining room table…crying hysterically.
Now I'm really pissed. Really pissed may seem extreme….but it's so not. I am so utterly sick of this kid crying. His whiney, I'm not getting my way cry goes straight up my spine into the I wanna beat you spot of my brain. I've said that before….and I mean it.  He just throws fits and cries over EVERYFUCKINGTHING and I can't STAND it. anymore. I really can't. I'm getting to a breaking point with this shit and if he doesn't knock it off, one of these days I just very well may succumb to the voices in my head….LMAO!! 

So I follow him to the dining room and I ask…

"Why are you crying, Ben?"
"You made me!!" he says, through tears.
"No, I did not Ben….I just told you to shut the door. You know I like the door open and you keep shutting it."  I tell him
"I wish you were a kid so you'd leave me alone!" he tells me….
"Yeah?" I say "Well, I'd leave you alone if you'd listen!"
"I would listen if you didn't yell!" he says
"I wouldn't yell if you didn't whine and cry like a baby. I am so tired of you crying and whining over everything, Benjamin!!" I inform him
"I won't whine if you don't yell!" he says
"You are a liar" I tell him…because he is, he's totally full of shit. It doesn't matter if I'm nice, sweet, patient or if I yell…it's all the same, he cries and whines….
"I am not a liar anymore." he lets me know..
"oh really?" I say "Okay…it's a deal then. If you don't whine and cry, I won't yell. "
And then we shook hands.

That was a few hours ago and we're doing good so far.

That little shit is getting way too smart for his own good…..
LOL
