I dedicate this piece of drabble/microfiction to all of the amazing moms who never lose their cool. Moms who are nothing like me. Happy Mother’s Day!

“What’s for dinner?”
Something delicious. Stop snacking and turn off the Xbox.
“I’m hungry.”
I said no more snacks.
“Fine, I’ll just get a drink.”
Please don’t drink Caitlin’s juice boxes.
“I’m only having one.”
Time to turn the Xbox off, Owen.
“Mommy, Owen’s drinking my juice!”
Dinner’s ready! Turn the Xbox off!
“Just a sec, Mom.”
Now!
“You never said we were having beans! Gross!”
“What are these yucky green things, Mommy?”
Peppers. Sit down, Caitlin.
“Hi, Daddy!”
“Hi, guys! What’s that wonderful smell?”
NUTRITIOUS! VEGETARIAN! CHILI! OUR FAVORITE!!!
“…”
“Mommy’s in a bad mood again.”
