Shining Moments of Parenthood

Today, Hailey had a bit of trouble with "The Attitude" as she refers to it. She got a couple of spankings and was deprived of computer time because of her little blaze of rebellion.

While I was putting the girls to bed she asked me something and I told her "we will talk about it tomorrow " and she put this frowning, pouty face on (which I privately refer to as "The Brat Look") and put her hands on her hips. Very unacceptable behavior of course.

The inner Brat rose up in me. I copied her expression and her stance. Her eyes widened in horror and she started to cry. "Why are you copying me?!"

I swear I couldn't help my answer: "Just to show you how dumb you look!"
