What Is This Baby Thinking

Can’t you see it is just me and mommy here?
Butt out.
It is bad enough I get stuffed back into this tiny confining fleshy
wrinkly ugly earth body, now I have to put up with the likes of you?
Go play with a video game or watch a TV show or something. 
You have had your turn.

I thought I had leveled up enough in the heaven realm that I would
not have to do this again. I know, it was my choice, but to stay there
and read books about experience gives you about half the experience
points you get down here going through another life.

Your incessant whining is grating to my nerves. I am about to start
a full-out baby wailing session, with shrieks and screams, because I
know you’ll leave the house if I do.  I am scrunching up my face now.
This is your only warning.

Is that Heinz 57 I am smelling on your breath? Dhram! It’s bad enough
that I do not have teeth, now I have to smell a fresh tasty sirloin on your
breath? I had forgotten how keen a newborn’s sense of smell is.
Dhram! Dhram! Dhram!

All I get is this smelly milk? 
Go away Dad!

Andrea Dietrich December 23, 2018 at 8:29 AM soupmail question for you. Caren Krutsinger December 23, 2018 at 11:46 AM answered. Easy Peasy.

Andrea Dietrich December 23, 2018 at 8:07 AM hahaha. Love your humor, Caren. My dad did not pay attention to me, so my face would be screwed up for being steamed about THAT. Caren Krutsinger December 23, 2018 at 11:47 AM Hilariously accurate of course. Were you the youngest of sixteen?

Brandy Nicole December 22, 2018 at 9:52 PM Yep!! I am sure you have expressed this baby's thoughts perfectly. :) These two thoughts placed together made me giggle out loud. "Go away Dad! You have had your turn" This is cute Caren. ~ Brandy Caren Krutsinger December 23, 2018 at 11:47 AM I saw this face and it came to me instantly. I KNEW.
