The other day, a friend of mine told me a story so funny, I snorted. Ugh. But I did, and then I insisted that she write it out so I could share it with you. She's feeling a little shy about this one, but she shouldn't! I can only imagine how many mommies this has happened to:

The other day I was sitting at my computer checking email when my 2 boys exclaimed that they were hungry. So as I get up from my chair I find I have a Charlie-horse-like cramp in my hip /butt area. It continues into the night when, laying in bed with my husband, I ask nicely, "Would you please massage my butt?" To which he laughed and asked why. I tell him about the pain, and while he is cackling he says alright.

Once he started massaging my backside, I of course start moaning (from pain and from relief). After around 5 minutes of me moaning, my oldest son comes running into our bedroom and starts hitting his father due to the fact that he thinks his dad is hurting me.

At this time I am laughing so hard I am crying. I try explaining this to my son, and he says, "Huh," and leaves. After a little prodding I again get my husband to continue massaging my butt, because it is helping.

Not even 5 minutes later our youngest son, who is 3, comes in and starts beating up his father, announcing, "Don't you hurt our mother, that's my mommy!!" Again I am laughing hysterically; this time at the fact that even after a day of yelling at my kids to clean their rooms and share their toys, I know that they do indeed love me no matter what.

Moms? How many times have you had this experience?
