I really think my daughter is about to start testing me.. I love my Mooda Pie to death but I can see into her future and she's probably going to get knocked out more times than she's going to admit.
So, for Christmas she got alot of money. She still has about 75.00 left. I told her she should save some so she can learn what it is to be responsible with her spending. Needless to say, she is my child though and the gene to dress nice and always be on point has touched her( sorry)..
This is how our conversation went this am( as we were getting ready for Church, go figure) "Mommy, when are you going to take me to get my brown uggs( the ones from Old Navy)"? Don't worry Li, I responded you're going to get them. Well when she asked? I'm spending my money not yours.. My head almost came off and before I knew it, she was about to catch a quick karate chop to her throat( now don't misunderstand me. I don't beat her or abuse her, BUT I do not spare the rod either).. Excuse me, I retorted. Who, do YOU think you're talking too( As I went to grab her).. "Nobody", mommy. I'm just asking. Well, don't ask me ANYTHING I yelled. Start asking "Nobody" and let's see how far you get with "Nothing"..
I was fuming. Did this chick really just pull the nobody card on me? Tuhhh, let me see if "Nobody" makes sure
1) you have a roof over your head
2) clean clothes
3) food to eat
4) a hot meal daily
5) electricity so YOU can play that Wii and turn lights on and off at your leisure
Let's see if "Nobody", will make sure you get your hair done every two weeks, participate in extra curricular activities and have a variety of snacks just because you want them..
Of course I didn't say all these things but I surely thought them. Oh, she's definitely going to learn that "nobody" is the wrong answer..
I hope "Nobody" wakes up with her in the am, get her dressed and to the bus stop!!
I'm not mad but I'm definitely feeling the wrath of being a MOM. I remember telling my own mom "Nobody" when I would get smart with her.. Ususally those nobodies were followed with a slap or something being taken away and I soon learned "Nobody" was the enemy!!! lol
I'm hoping she asks me about those boots again because I'm going to respond, " Ask nobody" to take you to get them... Wonder will she realize nobody just might be the wrong answer...

LOL I know it's not funny but my daughter is now 2 years old. I can't say it's gets any better. She looks younger than 10 but I will tell you, around 10 they start smelling themselves. You have only begun to experience what the rest of us has. All I can say is pray because a smart mouth is inevitable. She is testing the waters right now. I'll pray for you. :-)
