“I’ll show you, Mom”January 24th, 2006 @ 7:39 am
Last night we went out to dinner with some friends of ours, and their two little girls.
Their oldest is two and a half years old. We learned a lot about her last night:
- She lies about her weight.
- She may or may not have actually attempted to kill her little sister by pushing her down the stairs.
- She is very good about making sure all of her stuffed animals have clean diapers on.
- Although she is potty trained, if you put her in “time out”, she will poop her pants to prove that she is in charge.

Ah, parenthood. My oldest used to ‘clothesline’ his little sister when she was learning how to walk. It’s the little moments that get right *here*, ya know? (sob)

Hey, at least her stuffed animals aren’t doomed to sit in their own pee or poop forever! HA! And she lies about her weight? Wow, poor child, if she only knew what she had to look forward to in life as a woman.
Btw, did you find out what you are having or is it going to be a surprise?

Well, my cousin’s son used to make himself throw up when he wasnt getting his way. That said, he has turned out alright. I found you via Janet.

How does a 2 1/2 year old lie about their weight? wow, she’s really ahead of the curve that one.

Wow…that child likes to be in control. Not that I, as the big sister, never tried to do anything like get rid of my baby brother by hiding him outside when my mom wasn’t looking.

So now they put her in time out in the bathtub, naked.
And how did it even occur to her to lie about her weight?
Though I understand the primal urge to eliminate a sibling or two. I’ve got 5, and they’re all younger than me.

Parenting is all about waiting it out.
Right now, the kid thinks she’s got it going on and has won.
Fast forward the clock to years from now when they can “accidentally” mention her poo-poo problem to her teenaged friends.
If they’re smart, they’ll have pictures. Pictures… ah… sweet revenge for prom dates and wedding days.
Payback’s a biatch.

So poo can win battles? I might have to try that next time Jack won’t let me spend money on something I want for the wedding.
