Who has it worse?

A. Let's say you are on the computer. You have been sitting there for an hour an a half. Why? Because your baby has taken three 15 minute naps already today, and you are tired of putting him down for naps only to have him wake up, so you decide to just let him sleep on you as long as he can while you mindlessly check every blog of every person you know. Again. And again.

B. Now let's say you are five years old. You are at home, not school, because you woke your parents up at 6 am and told them you felt like you needed to throw up. They took you very seriously because your little brother spent the night before last leaning over their big red bowl. You have not thrown up a single time today, but you have played Lego Star Wars on the Wii approximately 12 times. Four day weekend, woohoo!

Person B drops their Wii remote on their foot and screams in agony. That really can hurt, can't it? A hurt foot in addition to a "hurt" tummy. All this after missing out on the joys learning! Person B runs in to the computer room to cry to Person A about it.

Person B wakes up the baby being held by Person A. The baby is now wide awake and wants a change of scenery. He won't even go in his exersaucer! Person A hasn't even had a chance to blog yet! Poor Person A.

I say it's a tie. What a sad sad world we live in.
