Oh, Lily. That kid kills me. She has such a spirit and I love that but man, she tries me sometimes.
Example:
Scene: Lily has just done something mean to Violet for the 100th time.
Mother Chick: "Hey! Go to your room."
Lily: "I wanted to go there anyway, see you later." Happily skips off to bedroom.
(END SCENE)
OR
Scene: Lily has just done something mean to Violet for the 1000th time.
Mother Chick: "Hey! Give me your DS for that."
Lily: "Here, I was done playing anyway." Hands over DS without batting an eye.
(END SCENE)
See what I mean?
What's that saying? What doesn't kill me makes me stronger? I think it's more like "What doesn't kill me still makes we want to drink a lot of wine."
Yep, that's definitely it.
Oh my goodness! Haha. My daughter will say, either in the middle of a lecture, or right after, can I still do....and she will name the activity in which was taken from. Like everything I said was gone. They really don't listen, unless you say money or cookie. haha.
ReplyDeleteAre you living in my life?? I get that same thing!! I need a drink.
ReplyDeleteSeems girls are "trickier" or maybe smarter :D than boys--my friend get this from her daughter all the time. From my son--nothing, just dissolves intt tears... hmmmm
ReplyDeleteOh my, I am the mom of two girls, too! But now they are 25 and almost 29. Best age yet!
ReplyDeleteMy youngest son used to do that until I started sending him to bed early. He wasn't able to hide the horror of that. Especially that time he had to go to bed at 5 p.m. when he was in 4th grade. For my oldest son, all I had to do was look at him with the evil eye and he was all apologetic.
