Yikes, kid
1. Edith was drafting plans for a Harry Potter Club. She proposed having each member adopt an alter ego from the Harry Potter series for club meetings.
Alice leaned in eagerly. "Oooh, Edith, can I be a baby Death Eater?"
2. The girls have been constantly at each other's throats, arguing, teasing, nagging, yelling, and physically fighting in a round robin that is no end of tedious. Finally at bed tonight, having tried various routes to greater harmony with little effect, I announced that I would be devising set punishments for any further physical fighting or yelling at each other.
Silence. Then Alice smiled. "Mom, did I ever tell you that I like punishment?"
3. At lunch, Alice and me. Over her scrambled eggs: "Mom, can we make up a story about someone who is very mean and gets killed for being mean?"
Have I mentioned that age 3 has been hands-down the hardest stage in our household, twice over?

Hours in time out and nights without dinner,
No more allowance when I’ve been a sinner,
TV embargoes and spanking that stings
These are a few of my favorite things!
Toy deprivation, complete ostracisement,
Scoldings and chidings and other chastisement,
Nothing can lighten an evening of gloom
Like being sentenced to stay in my room!
When I start fights
When I steal things
When I’m acting bad,
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I feel really glad!
Bestemor always leaves the best comments! All I was going to say is, what am I getting myself into next week?? :)
Look on the bright side - maybe she is getting her dark and destruction side out early? I went through mine at 13. ;)
