she's mean

toys as far as the eye could see

looked like an explosion in the toy store

a frustrated mom with {frizzy} hair and wild eyes stands in the middle of it all

4 little sandy heads twirled and fiddled pretending to help organize

hours go by

Finally with clenched hands the mom calmly says with a sweet strained tone,

 "if you don't pick up these toys I'm going to give them ALL away!

I'm just irked enough to do it!"

One unsuspecting little voice asked, "Mama, what does irked mean?"

the 4 year old with a matter-of-fact tone says, "it means she's Mean."

I need a vacation! {sigh}
