5-Year Old Diva

A list of complaints from the lass more or less from the time she woke up this morning:

• I supposedly put the wrong “cheese” on her egg. Never mind that the allegation was false; never mind that I took the time to make sure she had a healthy breakfast to start her day; never mind that I took the time to make it for her. IT’S THE WRONG CHEESE!!!

• She didn’t get to finish watching her cartoons this morning because she had to go to a skating lesson. Never mind that she wanted to learn to skate; never mind that we have to get up early every Saturday to make sure she has breakfast and is ready to get to her lesson on time. SHE WANTS TO WATCH HER SHOW!!!

• Her shoes are to tight. This complaint is actually legitimate. But when looked at from the perspective that they’ve likely been that way for a couple weeks during which time she never complained and couple that with the fact that the Wife took her to look for new sneakers last night making her aware that her sneakers were too small; plus, her “sunny” mood this morning and it’s hard to have too much sympathy.

• The Sun was shining in her eyes on the way to skating lessons this morning. Stupid, inconvenient Nature!!! (She has sunglasses, isn’t that what Diva’s wear?)

• Apparently, the Wife doesn’t get her skates on tight enough, so I have to be the one to finish putting on her skates.

Top that all off with an attitude that far exceeds her body size and you’ve got a lovely Saturday morning with the lass.

It’s scary to think that someday, she’ll be a teenager with a cellphone.
