Tonight while making dinner, I noticed an unusual display of lights on the kitchen wall next to the dining room doorway. I then heard a mischief induced giggle and walked into the dining room to see Connor standing on the middle of the dining room table, spinning the chandelier. The chandelier still has glittered snowflakes hanging from it that I put up before Christmas time and decided to leave up for the entire season. The snowflakes were spinning out like a ceiling fan reflecting the light making the entire room look like a disco. Connor had a look of complete rapture on his face and then he saw Mommy.
The look then changed from rapture to joy because he was going to get to show me what he had just been able to do. “MOMMY!”, he yelled, “Spinning round and round!”. He gazed one last time up at this spectacle of lights and then looked at me with some hesitation. Mommy, the world’s biggest party pooper. Because sometimes I hate that part of the job I almost considered letting him play with it for just a few more minutes. But I knew it would be only a matter or a few more seconds before he realized that if he were hanging from the chandelier… he could be spinning too! And took him down, carrying him out of the dining room and turning out the light.
Mommy. The world’s biggest party pooper. I think I might have a t-shirt made.
