under the bus...

twice last week that little stinker threw me under the bus..

1).  while shopping at online, mommy may have gotten into it with the cashier. She would not let me use a giftcard with a coupon. EVERYONE knows giftcards are like cash so there should be no problem. penny was sitting patiently in the cart for awhile, while I got more and more frustrated... i was about to ask for the manager, when penny leans over to the cashier and says "my mommy mean"

whose side are you on penny??

i made a quick old navy departure.

2).  i got pulled over the other day because my plates are expired. it's been on my list of things to do for a month and I'm still not sure what happened to may.. but regardless - old plates.

the police officer comes up to the car and before he even speaks he hears "mommy in trouble. mommy in trouble for being mean??"

the officer looks a little confused.. and i'm sure concerned for the child that i'm apparently so mean too... but ends up saying "no.. mommy's not in trouble.. I'll be right back"

i think the little stinker helped out though.. when he came back it was just a warning and he told penny that her mommy was not in trouble.  to which she responds:

"mommy not in trouble anymore.  mommy happy now!"

where does she get this????

A few other randoms... penelope has been very demanding in general lately, she always wants "evybody" to do what she is doing. for example "paw paw put feet in pool" "mommy put feet in pool" "EVYBODY put feet in pool".

she also yells out random demands... the best were friday night.  she was sick and had a pretty nasty fever when she woke up at 3 am. we let her watch some gabba in our room while we worked on getting the fever down.. dont know if it was the fever, the fact that she was half asleep or just her normal demanding nature, but the following three demands were yelled (and repeated) nonstop for about 2 hours.

"I WANT TO FLY IN AN AIRPLANE NOW"

"BRUSH YOU HAIR NOW"

"SIT UP WHEN YOU WATCH TV" (we were both trying to get some sleep, which was apparently unacceptable.)

so... i love this new phase in language development and i LOVE hearing all the crazy stuff she comes up with, so i guess it's time to get used to be embarrassed in public.. and irrationally reprimanded at 3 am :)
