"What patience?"

Tonight, after a long day of some fun times - lunch w/the girls at Pasta Pomodoro (LOVE it there!), looking at fish & turtles at city hall, perusing Michaels, watching Beauty & the Beast - and some trying times - an "accident" just as kindergarten was letting out, little girl fights, throwing things (they were, not me), and a good amount of whining, my patience was a little thinner than usual - and it's often a bit thin anyway. I found myself getting uptight with the girls during their bath. Alana was trying to help wash her own hair, and was being playful and probably pretty cute, yet I observed myself being a bit irritated with her interference. I commented to her, "I think I've lost my patience." Her reply was, "What patience?" Hm. Exactly.
