Mommyful Moment: It's Hard to Give a Serious Mom Speech When You Have a Booger Hanging Out of Your Nose

So last night, I told DD to get a head start on our bedtime routine so we would have plenty of time to watch a movie. I reminded her three times until finally, I had to use the "Mom Voice" and give her the "Mom Look" and the "Mom Speech" to get the point across. As I was talking to her, the corners of her lips turned up in a slight smile that I could tell she was trying to hold back.

Finally, she blurted out, "MOMMY, YOU HAVE A BOOGER IN YOUR NOSE."

Trying to maintain a straight, serious face, I said something to the effect of "focus(ing) on my message and not on my booger." Oi, I know.

So finally, at the end of the "Mom Speech", trying so hard not to laugh, she jumped down from the stool she was standing on and said, "IT WAS GOING IN AND OUT WHILE YOU WERE TALKING, MOM!" And she ran into the bedroom to start her bedtime routine.

Or maybe she ran in there to laugh her butt off like I did after she left. I couldn't stand straight, I was laughing so hard (silently!).

Note to Self:
Wipe nose before giving the Mom Talk.
