I'll never forget when my daughter Lily turned this type of behavior on me: She desperately wanted a magic wand thingee one day and so she held up two of them, one pink, one purple, and said, "So Mom, which one will you buy me?"
I spent 16 years in the television business. I worked, by turns, as a writer, director, producer, casting associate, and the gal who gets everybody’s Starbucks order. Later, I spent time as a counselor at an outpatient program for adorable teens with un-adorable psych and addiction issues. Working in the orbit of actors, rock stars, comedians, and teenagers prepared me for my current gig as the stay-at-home mother of a kindergartner named Bob. Now, it’s like the circus has come to town everyday. I am living the dream.
Not even! Moms are big meanies.
ReplyDeleteK, be honest. It's fun to say no sometimes, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see that other moms are being meanies.
ReplyDeleteTake that!

ReplyDeleteOh Bob, you are growing up, aren't you??
ReplyDeleteSince I'm not a mom yet, I'm taking notes.
ReplyDeleteBob is a kid after my own heart.
