Oops, I may have laughed...

AJ had a McDonald's cup that I set on the floor of the van while trying to buckle her into her car seat...

AJ: Cup!
Me: After I get you buckled you can have it.
AJ (screaming): Cup NOW!
Me: If you scream at me again I won't give you back your cup.
AJ (screaming louder, if that is actually possible): CUP! CUP! CUP! (Adds a smacking motion in my general direction.)
Me: You don't hit and scream. You may not have your cup because you screamed again and chose to hit.
I put the cup into the cup holder where she can't reach it (or see it...I'm not a monster) and pull out of the parking lot.
AJ (loudly, but not screaming): Cup! AJ cup right now! Mommy, right now!
Me: No. You may have the cup at home.
AJ (under her breath): Naughty mommy. AJ cup right now. Naughty mommy. Go time-out mommy.
Me: I can totally hear you.
AJ (stage whispering): AJ cup right now, naughty mommy. You need spanks????

And THAT is when I may have laughed...

reminds me of someone who used to take off her shoes.

"I'm taking off my shoes!!!!" Knowing Erma's love for shoes that was really the worst thing she could have come up with. ;-)

like when she said the worst insult she could come up with to scout: 'oh yeah, well those shoes SO don't match that outfit!'

hobbitsister said...

scout knew how to give it back, though. remember her stick figure drawing of erma? "this is erma, out of fashion."
(erma's response: "i do NOT wear triangle dresses!!!!")
