That is NOT what I said

Life in the home has been complicated by this tank top >>>>>

Ok, maybe not this EXACT tank top…but I own one a lot like it.

Ok, maybe it isn’t just this tank top…

Maybe it is this innocent looking creature…

Do not let her fool you…her ways are not for the faint of heart. At 4, she is good, real good. I can only imagine where we are going to find ourselves

Example ~

Morgan: Momma, can we have macaroni and cheese for dinner?
Me: No baby, I am making mashed potatoes.
Morgan: (utter outburst of screams and tears) You mean you are never going to feed me ever again?!?!

Umm…not what I said…

Example ~

Me: Morgan, please take your thumb out of your mouth.
Morgan: But Momma, my body says I have to…
Me: Morgan, I know it is a hard habit to break, but you are gonna mess up your teeth.
Morgan: (another outburst as in previous example) You mean you are gonna knock my teeth out and cut my thumb off!?!

Ummm…no?

And finally (but not only) ~ The Tank Top ~

Daycare: April, I hate to bother you but Morgan says you have a shirt that upsets her. She is in tears.
Me: Really, I can’t imagine what that could be.
Daycare: Well, I don’t believe you own a shirt that says that.
Me: Says what?
Daycare: Well, Morgan says you own a shirt that says (wait for it….)
“I hate my daughter”

Ummm…no….again….thanks….

    That child is something else….. Dramatic??? Indeed she is…. lol I can only imagine how Ava will behave at this age, she already has a bit of imagination.

  4. You leave my sweet Ava alone! I will steal her! I still need to come take her out since I missed her party. Maybe I will take her to the dress up store with Morgan and I can start training her up real good for you 🙂

    That is precious! “Wait for it” I laughed out loud on that one! good luck! #commenthour

  6. That gave me a great laugh! When she learns to write give her lots of paper; you may have a future novelist in the family.

  7. I’m a mother of 3 girls. It’s all about the drama!

  8. OMG this is the funniest thing I’ve read all day. You’ve got a little drama queen in training there for sure!

  9. Cracking up made my night she is adorable. Love her spirit.

  10. Hi Elizabeth! There is never a dull moment I can assure you. I am loving your blog, BTW. I have been a wife and a momma since my early 20’s. Your perspective is fascinating!

    Tracey, I certainly hope so…I am fearing soap opera diva. I like novelist much better!! Psstt…if you are ever in Coastal Georgia, I am taking you to a cool pub and we are going to OWN trivia night 🙂

    Trish, you speak truth…and I too often wish for a no shit anon blog…but I don’t trust it 🙂

    Sarah, Thanks so much 🙂 It was the funniest thing I have written in a while because honestly I am pretty snarky which I find funny but a lot of people don’t and I stick my tongue out and say “whatever, its my blog.” Yep that was one whole sentence…and I think it is more survival training…she’s the youngest of four so there’s that…

    Cindee, it’s that “adorable” thing she is counting out…hey, I am cute, don’t sell me on ebay, where I am sure she would fetch big dollars. As it is, I adore her rotten behind and hope she grows up super slow…they all seem to go so fast…

  11. April, I wish I lived closer and if I’m ever in the neighbourhood I’ll definitely hold you to that trivia night! 🙂
