Scene: Driving home.
VIOLET: Mom, when is dinner?
ME: Dinner was two hours ago and you didn’t eat it. That’s it.
V: But Mom! I’m hungry! I want dinner!
M: I guess you missed your chance to eat dinner. I’m not making you another one.
V (furiously): If you don’t make me something to eat, I’m going to EAT YOU!!
GRAHAM (panicked): No!!! Don’t eat Mommy!
V (still furious): Graham, if you don’t let me eat Mommy, I’m going to EAT YOU TOO!
G (still panicked): Nooo! Don’t eat me!
V (soothing): Graham, I won’t eat you if you let me eat Mommy. Okay?
G: NOO!!!
V: Okay?
G: No.
V: Okay?
G: NO!
Car and argument continue down the road. Dinner is not mentioned again.
Thank God for bloggity-blog! Otherwise all of this precious wisdom would be lost to the cosmos. I sooo love these children and the parents they are blessed to have!
“Elmo rocks” indeed. You’ve got some special little ones there… we too have the “i’m not eating dinner/ now I’m hungry” discussions. Although they’ve never resorted to cannibalism…yet.
They are sweet kids,maybe someday we will see them..Like following your daily problems raising 2 sweet kids, It must be you
Awesome!
