Oh yeah? Remember that time …

Mom!

Can I wear them?

Please?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

I won’t get them dirty!

I promise!

Please, please, please?

MOMMMM! Why not?

I can’t find my other ones!

I don’t know!

YOU ARE SO UNFAIR.

*stomp* *stomp* *stomp*

.

Two minutes later.

.

I can’t find them!

I’ve looked for a billion years!

Mom! Just let me wear them!

But …

But …

But …

MOOOOOOMMMMMMM!

AARRRGGHHHH, THIS IS SUCH A RIP OFF.

*stomp* *stomp* *stomp*

*cry* *cry* *cry*

.

Two minutes later.

.

I’m up here!

I’M PLAYING!

What?!?

I forgot!

I said, I forgot!

I didn’t mean to!

Ok, ok, I’m going!

I’M GOING!

WAHHHHHHHHHHHH

*mumble* *mumble*

WAHHHHHHHHHHHH

*mumble* *mumble*

.

Two minutes later.

.

MOOOOOMMMMMM!

I still can’t find them!

I don’t remember!

I think I left them at Granny’s.

Can I sleep over at Granny’s?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

You are so mean!

How come you don’t care if you’re mean but I can’t ever be mean?

You’re a big meanie!

You are so unfair!

THIS WHOLE HOUSE IS UNFAIR.

.

Two minutes later.

.

Mom, I remember now. I left them at Gianna’s.

Can I just wear these?

No, those are ugly!

MOOOOOMMMMMM!

Those are disgusting!

They’re ugly!

They don’t match my shirt!

They hurt my feet!

I don’t like them!

I don’t know, I just don’t!

Please let me wear these!

Please? I’ll be careful!

Please?

Please?

Please?

I promise!

I swear!

Cross my heart!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You are awesome!

*hugs* *kisses* *runs away*

One hour later:

Muddy shoe

.

The moral of this story:

Replacement shoes: $25

Replacement socks: $2

Replacement brain matter for Mom: $52.95

Always having a comeback to “YOU NEVER LET ME DO ANYTHING I WANT” ………… priceless.

    But there’s always “But I won’t this time, PROMISE!”
    I LOVE showing your blog entries to my kids. Just so they see I’m not the only one!!

  2. LOVE this post. I go through this with my 7yo son a lot. Not with shoes, but other things, and I love having a comeback for “You NEVER let me do anything I want!”

  3. This post is a classic! I love the wearing down, the cajoling, the appeal to emotion, and the utter lack of taking care of the borrowed shoes! This sounds like my oldest, especially.

  4. Too funny!! I have sooo been there! I can’t believe how lucky you are…usually I get an “I hate you” and the classic “I wish you weren’t my mom” thrown in for good measure. Super smart to snap a pic….at least you have proof for next time!

  5. LOL! hey! when did hannah come to your house without me?? this is her to a T except for the “not fair” part. i’m lucky see…i get the “i hate you and everyone in this house!!!”….sigh. to which i respond, “that’s ok. i’m your mom. your supposed to hate me, i love you enough to cancel that out!” LOL!! that makes her SOOOOOOOOOOO mad 😀

  6. too funny.

    I can still remember when my sister and I had our new dress shoes on and went outside with our cousins. We both stepped in big cow patties, while we were peeping into an old car in the pasture. I still remember how mad my mother was and she hardly ever got mad.
