I never wanted to be a mother Not because I dislike kids Just wasn't something I ever considered It was never a priority Not something I considered in my calculations Over a year ago I was asked to be a godmother Hell why not They call me Aunt Bootcamp Self-explanatory Although kisses and hugs Are always available And sure they're cute But I'm literally The laziest person I know Unless I'm working ...Or looking after kids Appratently So there he is "20 months old" -What is up with the whole month- thing anyway?- Squeezing the content Of his juicebox in himself Laughing like it's greatest thing ever So his mum put him in the shower I'm looking for towels Socks, shirts and extra pants Cleaning up juice Off the floor And the table Consequence of a glass knocked over He casually pees on my carpet And somehow it only made me laugh Preconditioned to get up And catch him as he falls Wondering how I got be so fast Not even remotely annoyed As he smiles and looks me in the eye And does exactly what I said not to do

Strangest thing
I never wanted to be a mother Not because I dislike kids Just wasn't something I ever considered It was never a priority Not something I considered in my calculations Over a year ago I was asked to be a godmother Hell why not They call me Aunt Bootcamp Self-explanatory Although kisses and hugs Are always available And sure they're cute But I'm literally The laziest person I know Unless I'm working ...Or looking after kids Appratently So there he is "20 months old" -What is up with the whole month- thing anyway?- Squeezing the content Of his juicebox in himself Laughing like it's greatest thing ever So his mum put him in the shower I'm looking for towels Socks, shirts and extra pants Cleaning up juice Off the floor And the table Consequence of a glass knocked over He casually pees on my carpet And somehow it only made me laugh Preconditioned to get up And catch him as he falls Wondering how I got be so fast Not even remotely annoyed As he smiles and looks me in the eye And does exactly what I said not to do
