Geneva: Mommy, the only way we can be best friends is if you let me watch shows every day.
Me: Couldn't we be friends too if I just take good care of you, keep you warm, make you good food to eat, buy you clothes when you grow out of your old ones, play puzzles and read books to you?
Geneva: No Mom. That's not an option.
Me: That's not an option?
Geneva: No Mom. You have to let me watch shows every day if you want to be best friends. That's how it has to be.
Me: I see.
(Apparently, we're not going to be best friends.)
Guess you two we're meant to be BFF's...
ReplyDeleteWow, so that's what people mean when they say, "be the child's parent, not their friend"...you can't let them watch their shows every day. The "that's not an option, Mommmy" part cracked me up!
