Straight From the School of Hard Knocks

Me: Girls, you need to go downstairs and start picking up your room.

Girls: Nooooooooooo! Whine whine whine. Complain complain complain. Ad infinitum, ad nauseum....blah blah blah...you get the picture...

*********************************************************************

Seven hundred and fifty hours later, they are finally downstairs doing what they are supposed to.

Except.

I hear singing.

It makes me happy that they have decided to put such a positive spin on a dreaded task.

Except.

As I wander further down the stairs, I realize just exactly what it is they are singing.

*******************************************************************

Girls: It's a hard knock life. For us. It's a hard knock life. For us. No one cares for you a smidge. When you're in an orphanage.

Laugh all you want, but this --coupled with the eight thousand and thirty times I have heard Yes, Miss Hannigan in response to my requests lately-- just tells me that a certain DVD staring a certain curly redhead needs to get back to the library ASAP.

  3. That's why I started the blog in the first place! I am very bad about journaling stuff, for them or myself, but for some reason when I feel like I am sharing funny stories with other people it motivates me.

    Does that make me a narcissist? ;-)
