Danger Pat

When I put the boys to bed, I usually give them a strong pat on their leg after I kiss them goodnight. We call it the "Love Pat."

Two days ago, while putting Zayd to bed... I missed.

Yes... I hit the spot where no boy wants to be hit.

Zayd doubles up in pain.

Me: Oh my God Zayd! I am SO SORRY!

Zayd: Owwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeee..

Me: Holy cow. I am so sorry - are you okay honey? I didn't mean to do that! I can't believe I missed your leg!

Zayd starts giggling and owie-ing at once...

... and then he giggles more and more and more...

until we are both laughing.

Zayd: Okay mom. No. More. Pats.

Me: Right... no more.

Zayd: Your love pats are becoming dangerous.
