The Jelly Legs

You've got to be kidding me...right? You say this to yourself as the little one crumbles to the floor, gushing “no's” and “I don't wanna's”. You stand in disbelief, as the battle begins over who has the power. Who's going to win? “You better believe it's gonna be me!”, you mutter subconsciously as your back tenses, teeth grit and hand invariably goes on your hip. Why you ask? Oh I'll tell you why, because for the next who knows how long, you get to experience what I call, “the wet noodle,” the jelly legs.” Take your pick, giving it a cute name is the only way my head doesn't go nova when the child's legs suddenly stop working and all you are left with is a body dangling from a tiny hand.
