Claudia was giving me a hard time this morning, telling me why I wasn’t allowed to use any of the paper in the house. I’m not sure what her deal was, except I know she likes to boss me around.
We’re supposed to go play with some other kids this afternoon, and I was getting worried that she was going to antagonize them. So we had this conversation:
Me: Claudia, if we go play with Lumpyhead and Lula are you going to be sweet or are you going to act like a jerkwad?
Claudia: (with a completely straight face) A jerkwad.
Greaaaaaat. This should be a fun day.

um, at least she’s honest!
The pluses of having 3 girls here usually outweigh the minuses. Usually.
Hope today goes better than expected!

Sorry, but I almost peed my pants laughing. If it helps, I asked Alex this morning if he was going to be good for Daddy and he said “No mommie.” That’s why I love him more. I mean the same. I said the same!

Well you asked and she told you…that’s something

You can’t really be so mad…she told you the truth.

I am telling you it must be their birth-month or something, Claudia and my son are meant for each other. They would probably kill one another actually. Gabriel does the EXACT same thing, I think he pms’ too or something. He likes to tell nice old ladies at the grocery store who compliment him to “GO AWAY!”. Then tonight he got yelled at for playing with the printer and he uttered with complete seriousness- DAMMIT! Ah the joys of 2 year olds. Please tell me it gets better, please…….

Yeah – having girls is good – having girl twins is better. Mine can barely talk and already talk back.
“give me a kiss” – “no – hahahahaha”

You can’t say she didn’t warn you.
Like my 3 year old nephew. He used to always go over to the dog bowl filled with water and dump it on the floor. His mom would tell him why that was bad, make him apologize, and ask, “Now. are you going to stop doing this?” and he’d say “No.” And of course he’d keep doing it.
I laughed because I’m not his mom because damn, that is funny.

i swear i’ve had the exact same conversation with my niece…except, instead of ‘jerkwad,’ i asked her if she was going to be a poo-stain.
oh…and her name is claudia, too.
weird.

At least you know where you stand – not that that is any consolation. My daughter is two going on 20 so I sympathise!
April 14th, 2007 at 9:19 am, Janet a.k.a Wonder Mom Says:
Yup. I have that kid too.
April 14th, 2007 at 9:48 am, Toni Says:
Claudia should meet my Luke, then they could be ugly to one another!
April 14th, 2007 at 10:19 am, Kate Says:
You gotta love a girl with a plan.
April 14th, 2007 at 1:27 pm, Gidge Says:
I think I know where she gets THAT……..

Cute one Ms. Claudia,

All my friends with boys try to act like they’ve got it so bad, ‘Oh, you pay later when they’re teenagers, but we pay NOW when they’re crazy, wild boys.’
Yeah, right. We mothers of girls pay all the F-ing time.
April 14th, 2007 at 8:11 pm, Lori Says:
I’m pretty sure I know where she gets that and I think Gidge will agree with me when I say, “Like Mother, Like Daughter.”

Cutest. Respsonse. Ever!

at least she didn’t call him a gaywad. Which is what I would have used at her age. and my age, more than likely.
April 16th, 2007 at 12:04 pm, crunchycarpets Says:
My fave is when you set up a playdate and then they declare that they now HATE that kid!
April 16th, 2007 at 1:35 pm, slackermommy Says:
At least she’s honest so you know what you are in for.
April 16th, 2007 at 1:49 pm, Becky Says:
She would have been my best friend in preschool.
April 16th, 2007 at 9:37 pm, Your Mother Says:
It is a family thing – remember Cyrus – are you going to be nice or you going to be difficult? “I’m going to be difficult!!!” And Claudia was really little when she met Cyrus so I don’t think they even discussed it.
