Can I join you?
Ever since my older kid got home it's been:
"Mom, can I eat something?"
"Mom, will you make me a tent?"
"MOM, she won't let me play in her tent!" 
"MOMM! My tent fell down and she won't help me fix it!!"
Plus I still have nine bloody tests I'm trying to fix here and Groovy loves to tell me stuff like I have an invalid argument of type String, that method will only accept a String.  
so yeah.

The Oatmeal Butterscotch paired with a Snickerdoodle
turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.

I will once this rice is done and my tests are working.
As for the kids, if they keep acting up, I'm going to turn the vegetable sprayer on the pair of them.

Fixed the tests. I really wish sometimes people would consider building out the test data in the test first, not assuming the data will exist in a certain form already. Then when the data changes, all the tests break, and it's EVERYBODY PANIC time. 
I can tell them until I'm blue in the face, then the next test they write, I see the same old mistakes, all over again...hard-coded IDs, putting a sleep on the entire thread instead of waiting for a particular condition, making assumptions about the state of the data at the start of the test, etc., etc.
I think it's beer time.

not at all! I get paid for breaking stuff, how awesome is that?
Think about it...your whole life, you're told "be careful, don't break anything"! Well, I am EXPECTED to break stuff. I get to write code to do it, too.
I have to try not to get excited when I find awful bugs, though, because it really does suck for the poor developers who have to fix the problems. At my last place, they wouldn't let testers touch production code, but here they do, so often I pitch in to try to fix the stuff I find.
I remember one time I found a bug in an example file that locked up the entire computer, the devs couldn't even attach a debugger. They finally found a null pointer somewhere (big surprise).
Another time we were doing a final visual inspection of the master discs that were going to be copied and sent out all to customers all over the world -- I saw a URL printed on Disc 1 and said, "Huh, what address is that?" and got a 404. I think someone had assumed we'd set up a site for that URL, and no one ever actually got around to doing it.
More recently I was testing a system to register drugs. I tried to register LSD, and the thing didn't know what to do with it. Turned out it couldn't handle pyrroles at all.
I've run the system out of memory loads of times, too. Once I said, "I wonder what will happen if I search for every aliquot that has DMSO in it?" and bam, the whole thing came down.  
Yeah, it's great fun, it's just that the test scripts aren't that robust sometimes...and more often than not, it's because people need to be educated in design patterns and best practices.
