She's Weird, But I Love Her

When I was little, one of my mom's favorite sayings was, "I don't have to worry about someone kidnapping you. They would bring you back." I always thought that was really mean, but now- I understand.

I have a four year old. That's a weirdo. And a whiner. And a tattletale. And needs to be entertained by me, all the time. And won't eat anything but pizza, peanut butter, and cheese cubes. And knows everything. And argues about everything else.

I have a four year old. That is beautiful. And smart. And funny. And tells me 50 times a day that she loves me. And thanks me for her peanut butter. And gives the best hugs and kisses. And makes up silly games. And forces me to slow down.

I have a four year old. And I love her. And if anyone does kidnap her- please bring her back.

After I get some alone time.

I feel the exact same way.

Except "she" is a "he" and his name is Cole!

I tell Princess that same thing all the time :-)
I told her she has to finish memorizing her address so that she can tell them where to send her back home too when they realize what a turkey she is :-)

What a great post...so true! I have the exact same little girl living in my house, too.
(I'm here from a link on a blogher ad.)

Don't think that just because she gets older that is gets any better. 13 year old daughters are hormonal, so that explains a little of it, but not all of it. Gotta love the drama.

Shoot, I've been saying that about my son for the last 7 or so years! No, not the 'bring him back!', the 'they'd return him in about 2 hours'.. 6 more years & counting with that one..
