My girls are tired. Gabriella’s got a sleepover hangover. Penelope’s just artistic. Both are fond of simile.
“I’m as tired as an armadillo,” Gabriella moaned.
“Are armadillos tired?” I asked. “And nice simile, by the way.”
“I’m as tired as a three-toed sloth,” she said, slowly laying her next Skipbo card down on the carpet.
“I’m as tired as a racoon,” Penelope said, laying herself down on the carpet.
“Oh, I know,” Gabriella said. “I’m as tired as a mommy.”
“Yeah, I’m as tired as a mommy too.”
I would have told this story to Becky before telling it to you, but she’s asleep.



That’s hilarious! Good one! And it’s certainly true! Thanks for sharing!!
Love it! They will make great mommies some day.
Hilarious!!
I laughed hard at that one and just read it to my roommate who laughed, too.
Now, off to bed. I’m as tired as a mommy.
You have no idea.
I laughed. Am glad you didn’t wake Becky. She would probably have laughed, but not appreciated being woken up to hear it (I also am a mummy who enjoys naps when she can – and my kids are mid-teens)
That’s priceless! Love it!
Love it! There is NO ONE as tired as a mommy!
Love it! Never realized this until becoming a mommy.
Such wisdom from young minds!
I like that a lot – got to show my wife this went I get home – hope she is not asleep.
i love this…
oh man, I understand! I am as tired as a mommy too
