Yesterday I was trying to load the kids into the car, but Charley was jumping around all over the place inside the car and not listening to my repeated requests to get in her car seat. So, after about the third request, I started to raise my voice just a little, to let let her know that I was beyond politeness and almost crossing the line into irritated. She must have finally realized I was serious because she eventually climbed into her seat. However, as soon as she climbed up there, she looked at me with her bossy, serious, "big girl" look (looking at me like I'm a complete idiot, similar to the one pictured here), and said with the utmost amount of confidence,
"Look Mom, here is the question. Now you can't yell at me, you can't scream at me, you can't yell at me, and you don't get any plants."
Uh, yeah, okay Charley, because that makes complete sense. I TOTALLY understand what you are getting at. But I don't think that argument is going to win your case in any courtroom.
