The Truth Hurts

Lastnight my six year old wanted to read a book he brought home from school. Since it was a Berenstain Bears book I decided the twins should get in on the action because it is one of their favorite shows on T.V, and this is where I went wrong.

The first page introduced Mama Bear...


Notice how she is smiling and happy...as every Mother should be.

But the next page shows this..........







Sammy (the three year old) says proudly "Mommy that's you!"

GULP

It gets worse.

I got another smiling "that's you" from him again with this page

SERIOUSLY????...have I been that cranky lately?

I did laugh at all of this but inside was hurting a little because if that's the way my kids view me lately then I need a serious attitude adjustment.

I will admit I felt better when later in the book Papa Bear loses his cool....

But the kids said nothing about this being their Dad but I thought it was good that it points out both parents having tantrums.
