Spite and All

Let me tell you a little story.

Yesterday Addison was being a grade A jerk.  As the person who birthed her, I reserve the right to call her a jerk.

Anyway she was throwing fits.  Kept going to the fridge looking in there for things to snack on.  I had just read the baby email saying that snacking when bored is a habit we learn as toddlers and carry throughout our lives. So I was trying to curb that and keep her occupied with other things.  It didn’t work.

She runs to the fridge: “gapes! yo-gurt! milk! juice!”

Me: “No! No! NO!NO!GETOUTGETOUT!”

Her: “NO!”

Me: “NO!”

Her: {flails to the ground throwing a full blown fit}

I divert. For like two minutes.

Finally I give in and pick her up and take her to the fridge. She’s not just going to stand there and name things.  So I ask her point blank “what do you want”.

She points to the butter.

Me: Butter? You really want butter?”

Her: {nods head emphatically}

I hand her the butter to call her bluff.

  1. Hahaha, that cracked me up! My cat was not as amused – she left the room when she heard the wailing. 😛 Hope today is easier on you both!
