The other day, bratlet got mad at me.
I asked the DH if she still pouting. He tells me:
“For the next twenty years or so.”
She’s 12, at the pre-teen/teen diva drama. I so didn’t need to hear that.
My kids are roller coaster junkies. They cannot go a day without talking about this ride or that ride. It’s worse in the summer when they can talk their dad into taking them to a local amusement park on his off days.
Yesterday, they asked him:
“Dad, what’s the roughest ride you’ve ever been on?”
I was thinking Drachenfire (sp?), an old steel coaster at Busch Gardens. As straight-faced as could be, he looks at them and says:
“The first four and half years of your baby sister’s life.”
Monster ripped the nail of his small toe the other day. Somehow. I don’t know how. He doesn’t know how. I told my guy about it-it was still clinging by a thread and he says:
“Pull it off.”
I informed him I was waiting for him to distract the monster.
So the DH comes in to do just that, monster is panicking…
“No, no, no, you can’t, it’s going to HUR…what?”
And I showed him the nail. I’d pulled it off before he really even started talking.
Baby bratlet was playing with her toys a few weeks ago. She had a LITTLE PEOPLE castle with all these little toys lined up in front of it. And there was a fairy lying on her back.
She tells me:
“It’s a murder mystery. Somebody killed the fairy.”
Blinking. Okay. It turns out this was the culprit-
That’s Maggie. From Fischer Price’s Little People. She killed the fairy because she was jealous of the fairy’s wings.
How cute. Your youngest has a great imagination. Gee, I wonder where on earth she may have gotten it from ;).
You must have your hands full with your very imaginative kids!
wow, bratlet is already plotting. Look out, world!
Your family seem great from your snippets you tell us. Your Life must never be boring…lol
You think your “bratlet” will be an Author one day??
It sounds like you have something to both punish and reward your kids. You can take them on rollercoasters if they’re good, and take away the rides if they misbehave.
Your kids sound cute (when they’re not being a handful). 😉
Your kids are great – hilarious!! I always heard that if your first kid is easy, the next one’s a devil. Cowardly, I quit at one. The pout will not last 20 years. At around 17 – 18 years old, the pendulum swings back & you’ll be infallible again.
Ha! That was great. I always knew those Fisher Price Little People were tricky!
Well, 12 might be diva age, but wait until the hormones start kicking in. You may turn to DH then and discus the nunnery or other ways to get her away from boys. As for the youngest, just wait until he learns to read and write and you’ll see some interesting stories. Good luck
