Sis is 10, nearly 11, and she knows pretty much all there is to know in the world and isn't shy about letting me know. I never really knew I was so stupid until she was around to make sure I knew what a moron I really was on a regular basis. Oh, I know, those of you with older children are laughing and saying, "Just you wait! It only gets worse!" To you people I say - SHUT IT.
Listen, today the girls were fighting over a particular seat in the van. Back and forth and back and forth and she sat there last and it's my turn and screaming and blah blah blah. The boy smacks himself on the forehead and says, "Not again!" and I pretend they no longer exist. But they just keep going until I can't help but say, "Do you two know you're fighting over a SEAT. That's a pretty stupid thing to fight about, isn't it?" My 8 year old yells through her sobbing, "No it's not, Mo-om!" and Sis...oh that rascally sis....
She sighs and gets a snotty tone in her voice when she says, "Oh, so you think that Rosa Parks was stupid, huh??!!"
Ay yi yi!

Funny and smart too. Oh my!
Wonder where she gets it from? Tee Hee. Wait. I shouldn't laugh. I have one following in her foot steps.
OMG!!! I laughed SO hard at that one! GO SIS!!
touche, sis! tou-freakin'-che!!
ten year olds are waaaaaaaaay too smart these days! i used to think i was smart...'til i had a ten year old, that is!
funny stuff!
If she only truly knew what she meant.
And I have older kids and I NEVER say to anyone "Just you wait" or talk about being pregnant, etc. because, like you, I hate it.
My kids aren't theirs. And theirs aren't mine.
[With five kids we solved the seat fight in the van by assigning seats based on age - no questions - and as each kid moves away the younger ones move up. I HATED the seat argument. Come September our 12 year old gets the coveted "shotgun" seat because her sister leaves for college. It works.]
OH MY WORD! Cute and funny! My 6 year old son came home around MLK day and gave us quite a history lesson on Rosa Parks and MLK. Look at it this way...she's actually listening in school. ;)
Too funny! At least you know she has been paying attention in school:)

I saw you were reading Living Above Worry and Stress. This is one of my all time favorite devotional. I think I need to do it at least once a year.
Hope you have a fabulous day!

My girls are constantly at each other's throats. They make me wish I was deaf.
