You can’t MAKE me!

Just in case ya’ll think it’s all Sunshine, Rainbows, Unicorns and Barbies in our world, I wanted to share the conversation with me and Tater yesterday afternoon on the way to the store ~

Tater:  Can I play with your phone, Sasha

Me:  No, your color was changed in your planner for not listening, so you can’t play on my phone.

Tater:  Well, I’m not talking to you anymore.07-no-talking

Me:  ok

Tater:  I mean it, I’m not gonna answer you any more, even if you say something.  And I’m not gonna talk to you when we get home either.

Me:  ok

Tater:  I’m not gonna say anything else to you, cause that’s not fair.  And I’m not talking to you when we get to the store either.  I’m not gonna tell you an answer when you ask anything.

Me:  ok

Tater:  Really, Sasha, I’m not gonna talk to you any more today.  You can’t make me.

Me:  ok

Now…at this point, it’s important to know that I wanted to SCREAM “For the LOVE of all the tequila in the world, SHUT UP ALREADY”.  But I didn’t.  I kept it together, and almost chuckling on the last sentence, just kept saying “ok”.

Apparently, that was enough….and here’s how the story ends as we got out of the car at the store:

Me:  Get out of the car, but stay beside it, and I’ll come around to your side.

I take her hand and we walk into the store.

Tater:  I’m sorry.

Me: What are you sorry for?

Tater: ……not talking….

Head slap times 12……

  1. My grandson did this to me recently! So funny! And as I was reading through your blog, I came to the one about someone telling you that you were a bad parent. Seriously? Deleting her was not enough! A bitch slap would be better!

  5. Just got custody of my 2 Grand-daughters(5 & 7) less than 2 weeks ago. I think I’m gonna have to go back to the very beginning of your Tater stories to keep myself goin’ here!!! I know the only way we’re gonna ‘thrive’ in this situation rather than just ‘survive’ is to keep a solid sense of humor…..so overwhelmed at the moment, so a big THANK YOU SASHA for a much needed laugh. Know your efforts are definitely appreciated

    • Oh there are lots of days I only survive girl ~ I’m not gonna lie, some days it’s HARD. I’m old, and she’s got a LOT of energy! But we get thru and it is definitely ALWAYS interesting….and this time around, I know so much more and have totally different priorities and ways of dealing with things….and I KNOW not to sweat the small stuff…too much or too often 🙂 Cheers!
