I Quit! (Gabrielle)
August 28, 2007 by Gabrielle
“I quit!” I said as I walked down the stairs. “I just quit! I am going to march up to Seth and Crystal and inform them I quit. And there is nothing they can do to make me change my mind!” I figure once a day is enough for any toddler to strip his diaper off and defecate on the floor. But twice?! And then he went and took his brother’s diaper off just for good measure. This was more than enough. It was more than too much! So I quit and there is no way anyone can change my mind.
I’ve stormed to the bottom of the stairs and I open the door. And Justice, who is only so-so on his relationships, says, “Mommy!” and sounds delighted to know I exist. Well, so much for quitting, I guess.
Ah, cut the child some slack. In a few years (60 or so), you too will be poohing on the floor and smirking afterward.
Rotten kid. They go all cute on you and ruin a good mad!
