I've thought about the 'tap out' for days now. I wanna use it. Because, let's be real, parenting is way worse than Ultimate Fighting. Two guys, enclosed in a small space, beating on each other? Come on, that kind of crap happens around here by 9:00 am every darn morning. The fighting is actually the manageable part. What about the crying, tattle telling and nonstop irritation that a sibling is in your breathing space? This is summer, people. I got ultimate fighting happening 24/7.
Over the last 2 days, my kids have really revved up their efforts to suck the very life out of me. It's true. Even my sister confirmed that she can feel the life sucking as well. It must be the heat.
So, I need a 'tap out'. It's the perfect escape route. I even tried it out today. After hearing a rather nasal sounding, "it's not fair". I tapped this child twice. Nothing happened. I expected a game over. But instead, the game kept going. Maybe I need to tap harder and yell, "KNOCK. IT. OFF!" at the same time. Maybe that'll work. I'm gonna give it a try. Do you think they yell in Ultimate Fighting? Probably not, it's so disrespectful.

I love it. I am tapping right now. No one is listening. It's just a steady beat, boom, boom...oh wait. That is my head slamming against the wall.
of course Em would know what tap out meant... of course. She is so wise.
I'd like a life tap out sometimes.
