"A Mom's Life", Delia Ephron

Okay, another excerpt and I hope I am not driving y'all crazy because I don't know if I can stop! :)
This one gave me a LAUGH...so I am not the only one who's day goes like this? No wonder there are times when I am sick of the sound of my own voice!!
"Take your plate into the kitchen, please.
Take it downstairs when you go.
Don't leave it there, take it upstairs.
Is that yours?
I'm talking to you.
Just a minute, please, can't you see I'm talking?
I said, don't interrupt.
Did you brush your teeth?
What are you doing out of bed?
Go back to bed.
You can't watch in the afternoon.
What do you mean, there's nothing to do?
Go outside.
Read a book.
Turn it down.
Get off the phone.
Tell your friend you'll call her back. Right now!
Hello, she is not home.
She is still not home.
She'll call you when she gets home.
Take a jacket. Take a sweater.
Take one anyway.
Someone left his shoes in front of the TV.
Get the toys out of the hall.
Get the toys out of the bathtub.
Get the toys off of the stairs.
Do you realize that could kill someone?!
Hurry up.
Hurry up. Everyone's waiting.
I'll count to ten and then we are going without you.
Did you go to the bathroom?
If you don't go, you're not going.
I mean it.
Why didn't you go before we left?
Can you hold it?
What's going on back there?
Stop it!
I said, Stop it!
I don't want to hear about it.
Stop it or I'm taking you home right now.
That's it, we're going home.
Give me a kiss.
I need a hug.

That cracks me up! Some we don't have yet and we could a add a few, but - TOO Funny!
