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

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?

I promise!

Cross my heart!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Um – you have the photo to prove it!! LOL!!!
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!!

My daughter and I can share clothes now. She is loving it! Me? Not so much!
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!”
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.
Welcome to my world!
I would stick the photo of the shoes on your fridge, and then next time….say nothing…..just show her the picture, and REMAIN STRONG…..DO NOT SUCCUMB!!!
This is SO familiar but not in a good way… I feel your pain in the wallet!
We have conversations JUST like that in our house too!! Sad part is my daughter 7….going on 17!!!
OMGoodness, too funny!
LOL! That is too funny! Makes me temporarily glad that my kiddos are still too young to tell me how awful I am. Soon, though… very soon! Love the shoes.
Wonderfully funny! LOL
that made me crack up!
Painfully familiar to me as well. I also kind of remember doing this to MY mother, but don’t tell her I remember that.
fun post. hehee…
Oh how TRUE!!! Sounds like MY house! 🙂
lol such fun to read! Thanks :o)
I am soooooo glad i went potty before reading this. I am laughing so hard!
thanks for your comment in my blog, it’s always fun to meet other moms out there
this was a cute post and great picture!
Sounds like my house…every day LOL!
You could start powdering Baby Midol into her smoothie each morning…..
;o)
Blessings!
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!
Hahahaaa! sounds like me when was young.
This sounds JUST like my house. MY DD is 10, need I say more?
How funny… and so true! Great post!
Too funny. Print the photo out and say……… remember when.
Thanks for sharing!
Oh, that is soooo much like a conversation (and outcome) at my house! Only it was the neighbor’s puppy chewing the borrowed shoes.
Been there.
Done that!
LOL !
Well written and it brought back so many memories !
:o)
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 😀
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.
