True story from this morning.
I get the girls ready for school and out the door. It's my turn to drive, so I'm herding them into the van. I pause to get a drink of water. As I walk into the garage this is what happens:
Katie: Mooommmm! (That sound is worse than nails on a chalkboard, and is usually followed with whining.)
Katie: Cole called me dumb!
Cole: So did Maddie!
Maddie: I did not!
Cole: Yes you did!
I take a deep breath, count to ten, and it doesn't work.
I'm prepared to ignore it all when Cole turns and glares at Katie as if to say, 'ha! I got away with it!'
I say (pretty sure it was more like yell- and I'm sure the whole neighborhood heard because my garage door was open):
"Cole, Katie is a hundred times smarted than you, so if she's dumb what does that make you! (pause for dramatic effect) DUMBER!!!!"
That's right Ladies and Gentlemen, I am officially the best mom ever!
