A recent discussion topic on an online mom's board that I follow, contained the question "Your book title if you wrote one.."
A few responded with some creative and funny titles, such as:
"Little socks everywhere"
"Why I haven't killed you yet" - wow, sounds like this mom needs a break!
"The floor is not a storage area" - I can totally relate!
"Outnumbered"
I added a few of my own:
"I know why you always need to be in my lap!" (So you always know where I am)
"Cleaning up after yourself can be fun!"
"Please don't touch my hair, and other spacial-related problems"
"Don't ask for food you have no intention in eating"
"I'll see you in the middle of the night!" (My daughter says this to us routinely as she goes to bed. And she is not kidding.)
What would you title your book? Would it be a comedy or a drama?
In thinking about titles and reading what others would use, it gave me pause to think about the way I view my children. Sometimes parents think of their kids as nuisances, or that perhaps a child's plight is to annoy their parents. In the heat of the moment when I've just spent my last ounce of energy picking up another pile of clothes, or putting together one more puzzle that was taken apart, these thoughts drift into my mind.
Please post your title ideas in the comment section! I look forward to reading them!
