She Did NOT Just Do That….

So the other day my two year old princess was being a two year old princess and I had to put her in her royal time out chair.
She was not very happy about her confinement and plainly told me so in a very huffy staccato munchkin voice:
“I. no. want. be. in. time-out.”
I replied with something very motherly like:
“We don’t always get to do what we want to do. When we disobey there are consequences and we just have to learn from them.”
Hoping that the wisdom of my sage advice had sunk in, I headed to the kitchen to get dinner ready. Not two minutes later I heard this song coming from the living room:
“Obla di. Obla da. Life goes on. Oh la la how the life goes on.”
Except it sounded more like this:
“Obwa di. Obwa da. Wife goes on. Oh wa wa how da wife goes on.”
I’m pretty sure that if her time out had lasted any longer she would have segued into a rendition of “Que Sera, Sera.”

A bit hard to stay mad, eh?

At least she’s got good taste in music. I was raised on Beatles and Cream myself.

Michelle, the way you said that it sounds more like an ice cream offering than a musical selection.
“Oh, mommy, can I have the Beatles N’ Cream from Blue Bell tonight?!?!?”
Princesses. What do you do with them? They think they own the world. No one thing works well with our little queen, we just have to find the right pressure point at that moment: timeout, putting a favorite toy up for a day, threatening to take away a playdate with her best friend (now that’s serious).

Cach - It’s impossible to stay frustrated with her for very long. She’s SUCH a charmer.
My girls are smooth.
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this story before but my other daughter was supposed to be taking one day and I heard her making noise in her room....I think she was singing. I went in and told her she was supposed to be napping and she said:
“But Mommy, I’m singing worship songs to God.”
Well....what do I say to that?! “Stop worshipping God and go to bed!?”
Michelle,
The funny thing is that I don’t even know who originally sang that song. I just remember it from the old show “Life Goes On”
Anyone remember that show?
Euphrony,
Beatles and Cream....that’s funny. Your humor may be slightly lost on Michelle, though, because she’s from Alaska and if I’m not mistaken, Blue Bell, glorious Blue Bell is sold only in Texas.
For those of you non-Texans, Blue Bell is the yummiest ice cream ever. My father in law while stationed (in the Army) in Saudi Arabia, once paid $10 for a pint of it.
