Some #threenager quotes. From like this week.
“That’s a 3. I’m 3! And you…….old.”
“You weird.”
“Its almost Halloween! “. She says this every day. Except like how you say “beware the Ides of March”.
“You can not pop me because then I will be crying and I do not want to cry.”
“Mommy I can not me mad to you, only happy to you.”
And I still can’t figure out where she gets half of these behaviors from. She says “I’m going to wear panties to school” and has done so for the past 5 or 6 weeks and only came home in different clothes once.
She is a tiny consumer asking for anything with a commercial. That cup thing with the room for snacks on top. Goldfish. To go ice “skaping”. She “needs” it. I understand. I needed my camera and all that jazz.
But kids aren’t born with any of this stuff. “Mans only instinct is to suck” – Christopher Moore.
We have to teach them how to walk and talk and wipe and enjoy Disney classics and understand sarcasm. A friend’s Facebook post said she couldn’t spoil Doctor Jekyll & Mr Hyde for her kid because she honestly just did not know they were the same person. You gotta live your whole life with spoiler alerts because kids don’t know anything! But I guess if they called it Human Training instead of Parenting, nobody would do it.
It’s hilarious and difficult and Brownlee just shakes his head in bemusement at our conversations. And what it’s going to cost him.
Wont cost me a little, wont cost me a lot, but it's gonnnnnnnnnaaaa cost me!
