This really happened...
"Mom, I'm really upset."
"Upset, upset about what?"
"Because I am angry with you."
"Angry with me?? What did I do?"
"You weren't nice to my kitty cat, Butterfinger."
"Oh, really? Well, I didn't mean to. The cat started it, but I'm sorry."
"That wasn't very nice."
"Yes, I know that now. I'm sorry."
"You need a time out!"
"What?"
"I said, Hit the front steps for a time out, missy!"

it begins
My typical thought when I am standing in front of the 90% off sale is "I just can't think about this right now. I am all Christmased out."
Then it seems like about 2 minutes later it is Christmas again and I am standing there going, "$7.99 for a big bow? Weren't they on sale for 99 cents last January?"

I hear jingling of sleigh bells
As I flipped through the radio stations today to appease the musical tastes of the three rugrats in the backseat, I heard my first Christmas Carol blaring over the car speakers.
A loud gasp escaped my mouth and the rugrat radar in the backseat picked up the blip and scouted it out with a "What's the matter Mom?". To which I responded, "Holiday songs all ready? What is this world coming to?". An intrepid voice responded, "It's OK, Mom. Just change the channel if you don't like it because it's YOUR car not the radio station's."
Out of the mouths of babes.

swapping sugar for self-love
Ok, I'll admit, I pulled a dirty trick on my kid today. Here's how it went:
The plastic pumpkins filled with candy have been sitting there in front of me for a day or two now and I have been so good, only about 5 sneak-ins a day. However, I discovered a load of Almond Joys at the bottom of my daughter's bucket today. Almond Joys are my complete downfall, I will do almost anything for an Almond Joy. Well, not wanting to waste the large number of Almond Joys in front of me I said to my daughter,"You don't like those candies in the blue and white wrapper - right?" She quickly responded, "Yup, I do." I quickly retorted, "I'm not really sure about that. I think you had one last Halloween and didn't like it. You better give them all to me."
So easily she handed them over and so easily they were eaten by me.
