Mummy just wants to shower and Mummy wants to brush her teeth. Mummy just wants to sleep for hours and have something to eat. Mummy just wants a glass of wine and have a wee alone, oh please children can you get off Mummy's phone. Mummy is tired and Mummy is worn and has been since the day you were born. Mummy has cared for you and loved you so dearly, every single day, since the day you were born she did everything for you, she even changed your stinky poo's. She's wiped your tears and held your hand through everything you do, she really would do anything for you. But when you follow mummy around crying for attention, you do not realise how hard it is for mummy to get things done, like clean the dishes and wash your clothes and all the things that follows. Mummy would love to just stop tidying and spend her time with you but mummy hasn't cleaned the house in so long as she's been too busy playing with you. The floors are dirty and the kitchens a mess, you plead oh mummy please help me get dressed. Not right now can't you see mummy's busy just do it yourself, all mummy needs is some time to herself. But mummy I want you to come brush my hair, mummy is busy, but mummy its not fair. All I want is your time and attention, oh mummy oh mummy did I forget to mention, all the while your cleaning the house and I follow you round like a little mouse, our precious time is slipping away and you may not know it but one day, I wont need you to play with me and brush my hair and help me sleep. I will grow up and time will pass us by, oh mummy remember that I wont always be 5. I will grow to be an adult too but mummy right now all I want is you. So leave the housework and forget the dishes, mummy I have so many wishes but the one wish I really want to come true is the one where I just get to spend time with you.
