My daughter cracks me up

One more thing - before I forget!

Kaitlyn has been on an arguing kick lately. Its a nifty little thing she recently picked up - "no i didn't - yes you did - no I didn't - uh-huh, uh uh, uh huh... blah blah - you get the picture.

Last night, after a fun filled day of arguing with a three year old (which I will address later) this is what happened:

"Kaitlyn, you need to go potty on the big girl potty before bed."

"No I don't"

"yes you do"

"but i don't"

"but you do"

"I already went pee pee."

"when?"

"yesterday!"

"Kaitlyn go pee pee right now please"

"fine-uh (another nifty little thing she picked up)"

"Mommy - did you dump my pee pee?"

"yes"

"no you didn't" "yes i did" "no" "YES" "but you didn't" "but I did" "No" "YES!"

Then i shout "KAITLYN - JUST LOOK! IS THERE PEE PEE IN THE POTTY?!"

"No, (she says with a smile)"

"See -?! (I say) Mommy was right! MOMMY IS RIGHT! STOP ARGUING WITH MOMMY! I AM RIGHT!"

She announces "I am left".

What else could I do but bust out laughing.

File this under unforgettables!

You may be asking yourself why? why am I arguing with a three year old child?

The answer is quite simple. I will give you multiple choice and all the answers are correct.

1. I love fighting a losing battle.

2. I am insane (at least lately).

3. Because I don't have enough on my plate that I feel I need to occupy my few spare moments in idle chit chat.

Deep breath in - and out. There I feel "bettert" as Kaitlyn would say!
