I LUV......

If my dear daughter grows up without a sense of humor it won't be my fault!

I can't help it, it is just so much fun to mess with my dear daughter, it really is. But sometimes it is just too easy.

We finally have our daughter to the point where we tell her to go and get dressed. I don't care if she matches if it saves me 10 minutes in the morning. This was Super Bowl Sunday (not really a big day in our house but we were having a few people over to gorge and watch the commercials and play Rockband during the game!) and she was getting out her clothes and I was getting dressed.

She came into my room proudly holding up her shirt that she picked out. She announced that it said "I LOVE MAMA". In actuality the shirt read:

I Y Tommy

I read to her what it said.... followed by "Who is Tommy? And are you in love with him?". Oh, that didn't go well, so here is the conversation (M being ME and D being Dear Daughter):

M: Who is Tommy? And are you in love with him?
D: No, I don't know Tommy.
M: Then why does your shirt say you love him?
D: I don't. I didn't put it there.
M: Why are you wearing it if you don't love Tommy?
D: It is sparkly. I like it.
M: Like Tommy or Love Tommy, make up your mind.
D: Stop it, I'm mad.

Followed by the stomping of the 4 year old back to her room. I left it alone for a bit, really I did. We went downstairs and she tried to tell her Dad about our conversation. Well, he fed right into it. So he started picking on her about Tommy only to get the same reaction of 4 year old anger.

I just couldn't stay out of it, I introduced to our daughter 'the song'. Think about it people, what song could it be.... none other than..... Daughter and Tommy sitting in a tree, K...I...S...S...I...N...G

I laughed, she stomped and threw a hissy. So we stopped, I mean why push it.

The evening comes with no more mention of my future son in law, Tommy. Until..... guests arrived. Grandma started right in where we left off....

Poor kid but great laughs!
