{Done, MOM}

Sometimes our kids will do something that just make us bust up. Last night was one of those nights. We were eating dinner and I had made bread. Ellie LOVES bread. She was heading to the stove to get her 3rd piece when I stopped her. Here is the conversation that came next

Mom said "Ellie, you have to eat your salad and then you can eat another piece of bread."
Ellie: "No, Mom"
Mom: "Yes, Ellie."
Ellie: "No salad, Mom."
JJ: "If you give us all a kiss you can eat the bread."
Ellie: "Okay!"
Ellie jumps up and runs around giving us all a kiss. Then sits down. JJ then hands her another piece of bread. I am still not sure what just happened. Why JJ thought he could make this deal, or why my orders where being over run.
Mom: "Ellie, the salad has to be gone if you want to eat the bread."
Ellie: with her eyes locked on mine picks up the salad, places it on JJ's plate, and states "DONE! Mom"

I busted a gut. She full on knew what I was saying and took my words and used them against me. She was so serious when she said "Done, Mom." that I couldn't help but let her have the bread. She did what she was told. Little smarty pants.
