Recent conversation overheard in the dining room...
E: Whatcha doing, Daddy?
P: Drawing.
E: What are you drawing?
P: You.
E: That's not me! That's a monkey!
P: That's because you're my monkey. You're my monkey princess.
E: Draw a castle, Daddy.
P: {draws castle}
E: Now draw me a dog.
P: {draws dog}
E: Now draw you. I want you to live in the castle with me.
P: {draws himself...and me}
E: What's that, Daddy?
P: That's me and Mommy.
E: {crying} I don't want Mommy there! Take Mommy out of the picture!
P: E, that's not nice. Be nice to Mommy.
E: But I don't want Mommy there! I want you to live in the castle with me without Mommy! Make Mommy go away!
P: {ignoring her, continuing to draw}
E: What are you drawing now, Daddy?
P: A truck.
E: {very excited} To take Mommy away?
Ohmygosh, can you feel the love?!?
I might have had my feelings hurt, but I was too busy laughing at what she said. She's getting too smart too fast.

That's hilarious! Especially the truck! I can picture my daughter having a very similar conversation. She doesn't like me most days. :)
ReplyDeleteShe cried forever, begging him to put me in the truck or erase me.
DeleteAt least I'm not alone! LOL
Is it wrong that I laughed really hard at this? I used to feel this way about my mom, and now she's my BFF. It took about 20 years though, so you may want to grab a snack....
ReplyDeleteYou always make me laugh, Sara! Thanks! And no, it's not wrong to laugh. 3<
DeleteOkay sorry to be laughing but that is pretty funny-- and don't worry you are so not the only mom who has gone through this. My kids love love daddy, when we go out to eat they fight about who has to sit by me as both want to sit by dad. So will sometimes be almost yelling, in public, I don't want to sit by mom. So yea, I know the feeling.
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious, Emmy!
