"I Was WRONG!"

Do you ever have one of those moments you wish you could take back and realize you can't -- all you can do is admit you're wrong? I had one of those this week only it wasn't with Scott because I'm NEVER wrong when it comes with him (LOL)!! This was with Spencer --- it had been one of those days and nights actually. We got home and Chip, the dog, had found a peach fruit cup and a granola bar to which he had great fun tearing into, eating and leaving sticky peach juice all over the tile floor. So I had to clean it up. In the midst, Jack was very, very, VERY slowly eating his snack and I told Spencer to clean up the playroom. Well, I turn around and find him playing multiple times. It was 8:30pm and I was DONE. You know those moments you have. Admit it .. you have them. I told him to brush his teeth, get to bed and no gamecube the next day. He fell apart .... and I would NOT listen to him. I was not reasoning with him nor was I going to be manipulated in this situation. Scott puts a crying son to bed and Spencer is trying to convince him that I'm WRONG!! Can you believe it? After I finished mopping the kitchen and laundry room, I peeked my head in the play room just to prove how Spencer did not listen. Yep. The playroom had been picked up EXACTLY like I had told Spencer to do it. Which meant I WAS WRONG!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I ended up climbing up into Spencer's bunk bed -- he was having NOTHING to do with me. He is just like Scott -- don't listen to them and it is like the wrath of God or something to the liking. So I got up there, convinced Spencer to look at me and said, "Spencer, I was wrong......" and proceeded to tell him I was sorry for not listening, I was preoccupied, I was wrong and apologized and asked him to forgive me for being so hard on him. To which he says as usual, "Mom, I forgive you." And at that very moment, all was well. Right up until he opened his mouth a second later and said, "So .... what does this mean?" Which I knew exactly what he was fishing for ---- Mom was wrong, she admitted it and she has to give me back gamecube tomorrow -- but of course, she has to! I absolutely looked at him and I could not stop laughing! He and I laughed on the top of the bunkbed I bet for at least 5 minutes. I just could not stop laughing and neither could he!!! God, don't you just love those moments?? I love it ... I love laughing with them and I love their forgiveness and I love their quickness!!! What would we do without them .......
