Anyone have a Midol?
The Midol isn’t for me. It is for my oldest son. He has a case of the PMS, Pre Manhood Syndrome. He just turned 12 and his hormones are starting to turn a sweet little boy into a mouthy douche.
I am not a morning a person but the going ons of this morning would make the most sunny, happy, morning person turn to the bottle. It starts with PMS boy being pissed that I’m not letting him use his uniform free pass. That resulted in an eye roll, an “Oh my gawd!” and stomping off. Then I’m not sure what happened but he ended up locking himself in the bathroom saying that he hates his life and isn’t going to school. I was getting ready to bust down the door, because I handle these things so well at 6:45 am. Finally he comes out and gets dressed. Then the next son starts bitching. For some reason my sugar turned into a solid brick. He is complaining about not being able to put sugar on his cereal. So I do what anyone mother at the end of her rope does at 6:55 am. I got out the hammer. Not thinking ahead, I start beating the piss out of the bag of sugar. Of course the paper bag rips and what little sugar I managed to break up is leaking out. Shit! Now I put the brick in a ziploc bag and start wailing on it. It worked good enough to get them all cereal. If that hadn’t worked I was going to run over the sugar with my car, since I am so rational in the morning. Finally with everyone off to school I said “Fuck it” and went back to bed.

I do think boys have their own PMS cycles.. maybe not monthly (maybe daily?) and it does seem to relate mainly to grumpiness.
And I can just picture you driving over the sugar!

Which bottle is it that you turn to? Try the counter edge next time. I know you can’t stomp off and grab it then swing it around threateningly.
Can we now add bludgeoning to splitting skulls for CM demises? Sweet!
