Quickie: Mina Strikes Again!
The other morning, I get home from an overnight shift. Ogre has taken the responsibility of “okaying” Mina’s school outfit. It’s slightly chilly outside, but going to warm up, so when I see her seated and wearing a dress, I suggest that she wear tights. She doesn’t want to wear tights. Ok, fine. She finishes up breakfast and stands up and her dress is WAY too short (it’s a 3T and she’s now wearing 4T, sometimes 5T).
I tell Mina that she has to either wear tights or put shorts underneath her dress because the dress is “way too short.”
Her response as she passes me on the way up the stairs?
With finger in my face and S-eating grin, “NO, Mommy! You’re WAY TOO SHORT!! SHORTY!!”
Her Papa is just sitting there smiling and nodding. Obviously proud of his daughter’s smart-assedness. After all, she gets that from his side of the family.
Can I join another team? Team Phipps is not being very nice to me…
Team Phipps, Short Mommy
P.S. I’m 4′11. I guess that is short.
OH…the teenage years are going to be fun with that one! haha!
I KNOW!!!
Yeah-you have to have pretty thick skin to be with team Phipps. Most of the time I don’t have the patience for it.
maybe you and i could form our own team?!?
There’s an idea. I prefer physical attacks over verbal. Much quicker and more effective and there’s not all that ambiguity about what I really might have meant. How about you?
absolutely! i’m always up for a good fight!
