mean mommy!

mm had her 2 1/2 yr check up at the dr yesterday. she waited so patiently for 2 hours! dr. susie got called to the hospital so the wait was really long. mm decided that she wanted some gum...i told her that we had to wait for dr susie to come in and look at her mouth first. she was really persistent. (2 yr olds usually are, right?) anyway, i tried to distract her with charlie...the frog in the picture above...the dialogue went something like this...

charlie: no, no...you can't have any gum until after dr. susie comes in.
mm: (laughing because charlie was talking) but i want to
charlie: no, no...dr. susie won't like that
mm: (still giggling) yes, i want some gum, pls
charlie: you can have some after dr. susie looks in your mouth
mm: (grabbing charlie from me-still laughing) i do it!
mm as charlie: NO, YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY GUM!

i died laughing...even though i thought that i was saying it so sweet and funny, she still heard only one thing..."you can't have any gum because i am the mommy and i am mean!"

those teenage years should be fun!
