Something funny happened...  

Okay, so this may or may not be funny depending on how uptight you are, but I'm going to repeat it here anyone, because I'm sure that someone can relate to it.

About a week ago I was watching my nephew, age 2 and my neice, age 5 months.

Now, I had gotten to their house at 7 am and their mom left for work.

From the minute that my sister stepped out the door Cameron (the 2 year old) started screaming. Not crying, not tears, but full blown, deep breaths screaming his little lungs out.

The day proceeded in much the same manner.

After four or five hours of Cam crying and the baby crying because her brother is crying, I go out on the balcony for a smoke.

I don't usually let the boy come out when I'm smoking, but since he was banging his little forehead against the sliding glass door I went a head and let him out.

The baby is inside with a bottle, and I can see her starting to nod off.

So, Cameron decides that he is going to open the storage door and pull this chair out. He's having trouble with it because its kinda bulky and its a metal folding chair and the kids two. So I grab the back of it and pick it up so I can help him move it out of the storage.

He starts screaming. "Mine, mine!"

So I set the chair down. He stops screaming and starts to pull it across the balcony.

Well, he gets the thing caught on something and before I can help him he throws himself down and starts screaming and kicking.

I mean, he is just letting it all out.

So, in my frustration I say to this boy. "I swear to God, Cameron, if you don't stop I am going to chop you up and flush you down the toilet."

Cameron stops crying and the woman down stairs starts laughing.

I am mortified. I had no idea that there was anyone down stairs, and thank God that its a neighbor that we are friendly with.

She knows that I would never hurt the kids, and that I was just frustrated. She could hear him screaming all day, but if it hadn't been someone that we know... Oh my God...

Can you imagine the police showing up twenty minutes later to a screaming kid about a call that I was threatening to murder him!

I was mortified! I didn't even want to tell my sister, but I did... It would be no good her finding out from the neighbor...

Anyway... like I said... It might not be funny, I just thought that it was and so I am sharing it.

Thanks.
