battles

*throw hands in hair, stomp to room* i am NOT taking a bath, moooommmmy! i need to go to bed! i need to go STRAIGHT to bed!

really? this is the battle you want to pick with me? come on. have i taught you nothing? you get your way with just about everything...i have practically no rules. now your dad? he has rules. but here? you have it made, you can just look at me and get your way.

so here's the deal kid. when you want to battle it out with me, it needs to be for something good- like cookies before dinner, not wanting to pick up your toys or refusing to put on underwear when you prefer to run around naked. now those are things worth fighting for...but a bath? sheesh. i have lots to teach you still.
