Holy Drama Queen, Batman.

Short and Sweet tonight. But I couldn't resist sharing this. Not doing so means I risk forgetting it and frankly, I haven't laughed so hard in a while.

Let me set the scene:

Kids are playing in the living room. All is well until I hear this-

Hunter: Ethan, sweetie, I'm just gonna be talking on my cellphone for a little while so I'm gonna need you to be quiet so I can hear. Okay? Okay sweetie?  {Frankly, this post could stop right here and that sentence alone would be funny enough to call it a day. But no, it got better.}

Ethan: No.

Hunter: Ethan, did you just tell me no?

Ethan: NO! {Except, yes.}  :)

Hunter: [running into the kitchen sobbing] Mommy, Ethan just telled me no!

Mommy: Yeah? So? Ignore him.

Hunter: No! He telled me NO, mom!

Mommy: Hunter, it's fine. Just ignore him.  [here it comes...wait for it..]

Hunter: But mooom, that hurts my life.

Mommy: ?? What? That hurts your life? [turn head so as not to laugh too loudly]

Hunter: Yes. [sniff sniff].

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fast Forward to bed time.....

Tonight I gave Hunter the purple cup instead of the pink cup which she apparently wanted. I also put a yellow lid on 'said' purple cup instead of a blue one! Well I might as well have told her she was going to have to sleep in a pool full of cat poop.

Hunter: But moooom, I wanted the pink cup.

Mommy: Well sorry Hunter, but you're not getting it. I already poured milk in the purple cup.

Hunter: It's not fair mom. You're hurting my life. 



UM, REALLY??

Where does she come up with this stuff?

Regardless, I urge you all to incorporate this new phrase into your day today. Try it out. And if you feel so inclined, leave a comment and tell me how and where and with whom you busted out the phrase "You're hurting my life."
