Boy: I want to color in my bed...Moi: No sweetie, we don't color in our bed, I'll leave the crayons out for you in the morning...
Boy: *wailing... the tired "I've been staying up way too late... waking up early... and having really active busy fun filled days...swimming, playing at the beach, feeding ducks, going to Disneyland" wail
Moi: You'll feel better after some sleep, here's a book to read
Boy: You're the WORST MOM EVEEEEEER. You're mean, you're the WORST!!!
Moi: I'm sorry you feel that way
Boy: I was going to color you a beautiful rainbow dinosaur picture. It was going to be a blue Tyrannosaurus Rex, because blue is your favorite, with a Rainbow. Rainbows are hard to draw, but I was going to do it
Moi: Ooo that sounds pretty, you can draw it tomorrow.
Boy: *unintelligible words muffled by sobs*
Moi: Good Night
Boy: *screaming at the top of his lungs* YOU'RE THE WORST MOM EVEEEEEEEEEEER!
