I've been reading these cute little conversations one blogging friend has been having with her adorable toddler. They are cute, and I remember when we had cute little conversations. Now, we don't have those anymore! Instead, most of our conversations begin with "Do I have to....?" Many times they end with those very same words!
Tonight, my youngest did something she is not allowed to do. She asked my neighbor if she could have dinner at their house. She claims they agreed to this, and chances are she's correct. Truth be told, she prefers to eat with them. We could serve the exact same meal but it's always better at her friend's house. I remember this!
The sad thing is that tonight my older daughter has asked me THREE times if she can join them all for dinner! What, am I serving dog food here or something? Both of them have spent the day cleaning because they've avoided it for most of the winter. I'm guessing they just want out of the house. Anyway, they both know I'm not happy, but they continue to ask.
Here's MY conversation with my oldest daughter:
Her: Um, can I join A, M, A and Em for dinner at their house tonight? (for the third time!)
Me: No, you can have Pizzeria Uno with your father and I. He's on his way home with it now.
Her: (Really pathetic face) Do I have to have pizza?
Me: No, instead you can just stay in your room all night with no dinner at all. How about that?
Her: (Complete silence.)
I guess we're having pizza for dinner! Do I have to put up with this all day everyday? Nope!

Hmmmm. I remember someone asking me night after night if we could have pizza for dinner. When I said no, I was asked, "Why?" She was in fourth or fifth grade at the time. This went on for a very long time. Could it be pay back time?
I still ask that question!;-)
