Meanie Moms Beware
Have I mentioned Tiny Person has this hilarious sense of humor?
The other day I was buckling the girls in the car. And, just because I say these kinds of things sometimes, I said: Aren't I a great mom?
Yeah, says Tiny Person, kind of non-committally. Sometimes. (Pause.) Sometimes you're a meanie.
This is not the funny part, actually. That was just her honest response.
(As background, the other day, Tiny Person and I had a bit of an altercation. Something about, Time to get in the car now, we need to get your sister, and her response: NOOOOOOOOOO. Which led to a bit of a disagreement which, inevitably, I won. And in the course of winning, which might have involved, in the end, actually picking her up and carrying her to the car, she says, through her indignity: You're a meanie mom!
Now, sometimes I am a meanie mom. We all have our bad days. But that's not what she was talking about. That was strictly about Tiny Person not getting her way on something.)
Trying to josh her a little, I thought I'd chat about it some more. I am? I said, getting into my own seat.
Yeah, she says from the back seat. And then she made a loud sigh, as if she was a person with a long to-do list. I gotta get a new one, she muttered.

OMG! That is hilarious!!!
I laughed outloud!
How old is she?
My 3 year old son can say some pretty hysterical stuff too, but do I ever remember it? No, of course not.
ha! that's hilarious.
hee hee hee that is one for the memory book!
I'm glad my son isn't the only one who has told me about his dissatisfaction with my parenting skills. He's told me he hated me, that I was the worstest mommy and that he wanted to go get a new family because we didn't understand him. He's 5! I never would have said anything like that to my mother when I was 5 (probably for fear of losing some teeth!). It does get better, and all those times when they are hugs and smiles make up for the moments when they hate our guts. You think it's bad now, wait until they are teenagers!
Happy thanksgiving
When these moments occur I fear the teenage years.
