Am I smarter than a third grader……………..
You would think so, but my third grader is thinking “not even close.” Last night I tucked her into bed and she was complaining that I spent longer in her brother and sister’s room than I spent in her room. And, that was as I was walking in the door. Yeah, put your seatbelt on.
(Have a mentioned before that we have a college-savings plan and a therapist-savings plan?)
Me: Honey I am just not sure that is true
Her: It is (Enter big arse tears)
Me: I just got here
Her: But you n.e.v.e.r. stay here as long as you stay in THEIR rooms
By way of background, Angel’s grandmother bought her a new bed that arrived yesterday and will (prayerfully) be assembled today.
Me: Well, the good news is that you are getting a brand new bed tomorrow. Isn’t that exciting?
Her: You a.l.w.a.y.s. do that
Me: What?
Her: When I am mad at you, you always try to distract me with something happy.
Dear heavens. Please start praying for me now. She has broken the mother code.
