YOU NOT MAD!

We were ready for preschool early the other morning, so I let Cooper play some computer games to pass the time. When it was time to leave I could not get him off of the computer. I kept telling him over and over to come, it was getting late, he could play games later, let's go, I'm leaving you, etc. I finally got him downstairs, practically sat on him to get his shoes on and the next thing I know he's taken his shoes off and thinks he's funny. So, I pin him down again and get his shoes on. By this time we're totally late and I am not a happy mom. As I'm dragging him into the garage I slam the door behind me in frustration. Cooper says, "DON'T DO THAT WITH THE DOOR." I reply, "Well, I'm SORRY, but I'm mad." He responds, "YOU NOT MAD, YOU HAPPY!!" As I buckle him into his car seat I look at him and say, "Do I look happy?" As I get into the drivers seat I hear him frustratedly trying to think of a response and then he finally blurts out, "YOU NOT MAD, YOU JUST FREAKIN' OUT!" I was glad he couldn't see my face, but I couldn't help but laugh at my funny little Cooper and I couldn't be mad anymore. Really, how can one child make me so frustrated and laugh so hard all in the same minute!
