Can't Stay Mad at My Kid
We were in Oakland this past weekend. My kid and I had to head for the airport after Dim Sum with my family yesterday. I tell her to get into her car seat. She messes about; talking about the frogs we got. I tell her, again, to get into her car seat. She continues to ignore me. We are in a hurry. I repeat, loudly, bordering on shrill, for her to get into her car seat. She stops, looks at me and says, "Relax, Mom."
She is 3. I was ready to throttle her. But her comment caught me off guard and I could only laugh. I relaxed.
If you could have seen the "mean look" staring challenge I got in with my 4 year old that did something wrong. I was trying to show how angry I was with her, but had to look away and laugh at her giving me a mean look back.
