Apparently I am a ‘Naughty Man; - well at least that is what Little Miss tells me in no uncertain terms whenever I do the wrong thing or have the audacity to tell her ‘No’ or that she is in trouble.
It’s not that she calls me it so much, it is the venom with which she exclaims it that can be somewhat off putting. Nah, not really, it’s all I can do to not laugh out loud whenever she does it. She just soooooo reminds me of Wife when she is giving me one of her dressing downs.
She enunciates each sentence so exactly, and each exclamation is worded in such a way that it is basically issued as a challenge to me just daring me to disagree with her assessment of the situation and my behaviour.
Even the body language is remarkably similar, the half crouch (ready to attack I am sure), the sharp motion of the finger or hand every time a supposed point is made.
LOL, just thinking about it cracks me up - I know I should take it more seriously. But just the look of serious earnestness on her little face is hilarious.
Of course I am in trouble now having pointed this out. I get in trouble when I mention such things to Wife about the similarities in this area. So I guess I will be sleeping with one eye open after she reads this (For my own good! - sorry, bit of an in joke that one).
Now if I really wanted to get in trouble I would mention just how funny / frightening it is when Wife and Little Miss are having a heated discussion about something. It’s like in a video game when you come up against your mirrow image opponent - they know all your moves, all your tricks and all your weaknesses. They are therefore very worthy opponents.
But I won’t mention that - that would be going too far.
Tonight when Hot Mummee told Caitlin to go do something herself, after Caitlin was pleading for her Daddee to follow, Caitlin pointed at Hot Mummee and exclaimed “BANG BANG” and walked on to do whatever it was.
I looked at Hot Mummee and she looked back. I said “That’s her way of being vindictive; for a 3-4 yr old, you know”, and continued looking at Hot Mummee.
“What- you think she got it from me??”
I said yes, and there was no dispute to dispute.
Because she knows I am right.
JLow’s last blog post..“… as my (a) family…”
You should have been here this morning, when I offered A the option of doing what I asked or going to the thinking chair.
You know what she said? “That’s not my choice Mummy, they’re your choices. I want my choice…stop counting Mummy…arrrrrggghhh you are so naughty!” before stomping to said chair and the having a discussion with herself about being so mad and that she could get up if she wanted to.
Karma folks, karma.

@JLOW - I keep getting slashed and stabbed and “klllllddddd” apparently. oh well
toddlerdaddy’s last blog post..Naughty Man - you’re a naughty man
Micah recently started this (and I really don’t know where he got this from):
If you’re naughty I will lock you up for 100 days. And no books for you to read!
To grandma, it was locking her in the kitchen for a 100 days.
*shake my head in surrender*
