I usually explain to them mom is at work and we move on to something else and all is fine. We've gotten accustomed to it (she's been doing surgery for over 10 years) so I'm really not sure what the deal was with us yesterday. For whatever reason I didn't do anything and let their questioning get to me.
I didn't think about it until your post but by letting them keep questioning I didn't do them or my W any favors either. I won't let the kids get worked up again no matter my mood or what's occupying me. Thanks for making me see that side of things.
