Busted == More Bad Parenting

Ani came stalking into our bedroom this morning.

"Why is your PURSE in the tv room? Why are there CANDY wrappers in the garbage?" Her eyes narrowed. "Were you WATCHING TV and eating CANDY??"

"Um, yes."

"That's not fair! I'm going to go turn on the TV and then you better give me some candy!"

"Sure it's fair. Because I'm a grown up and I can do whatever I want."

Yesterday, the 3 year old (aka Bottomless Pit) ambushed me in the living room at 10:45am.

"Can you make me a sandwich?" she pleaded, with puppy dog eyes.

"Sure ... at lunchtime."

"Okay, great. Can you give me something while I wait? Like egg and cheese?"

"Um ..."

"And while that's cooking, can you give me some peach yogurt? Because I'm really hungry. Thanks."
