Stupid Mommy

This happened last Tuesday. I can't believe I didn't share it sooner. Just had other stuff to write about, I guess...

I was making Erica clean up the house Tuesday afternoon before Andrew came home from work. She didn't want to help; she just wanted to play. I kept prodding her to clean, and she called me "Stupid Mommy."

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!?!?!?!

First she lies to me. Now she's calling me names. What's next? I guess I had to have known that someday this would all come. No one's perfect. But I didn't think it would start at 2 & 1/2 !!!

So now, we've outlawed the word "stupid" at home. And I'm even more worried about what she might hear other places and on TV too. Its quite shocking what people are allowed to say on TV these days. And it just jumps out at you, with no warning.

Am I going to need to quit my favorite TV shows? I don't think that I could live without Heroes: it's my #1 obsession! It comes on at 9, and that's normally her bedtime... so it shouldn't be a problem.

Oh, how I love Heroes! Let me count the ways... Okay, I'm not really gonna count. But I do so love it. Last night's episode was truly amazing. The best episode this season. So much was happening!!!

My darling twin sister Abby loves the show too. She had to work last night, thus wasn't able to watch it. I can't wait till she sees it online so that we can talk all about it. [Normally, we watch it and call each other during the commercial breaks to talk about what just happened!]

Speaking of Abby--

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL! Well, one day late. Enjoy your 26th year.
