Last night we went to my Mom and Dad's for dinner. Pre-eating activities were what you'd expect on a Sunday afternoon. Mostly talking with a little sword fighting thrown in the middle. The sword fighting enhances conversation, I feel, because you constantly have to be on the look out. Atticus could, might, and most definitly will chop your head off if he gets the chance. When Jo was kindly escourted to the sideline to give someone else a "waa-ting-ing" opportunity she threw herself on the couch next to me and just howled. For the sake of making small talk with my daughter I asked,"Jo, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Through her dramatic sobs she cried out, loud enough for everyone to hear, "I JUST WANT TO KILL SOMEBODY!"
I am choosing to interpret this as a moment which exposes all 3-year-olds' natural aggression. Not a reflection of poor parenting. Either way, I think we all might want to watch our backs around a little someone who's name rhymes with foe...

Very funny! Where was I when the little Jo was so distraught?!
ReplyDeleteum, seriously ames, that is frightening. i'm not sure if i can let my children play with yours anymore.
ReplyDeleteJK. doesn't everyone just want to kill someone sometimes? :)
HA!!!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteShe seems so innocent - holding Elena's hand and acting all sweet. But I guess you shouldn't be fooled - she's just biding her time....
;)
Oh. My. Gosh.
ReplyDeleteUmmm... Ninja? Ever heard of it.
You're raising an effing ninja... in Utah County. And you expect me to NOT question your parenting? There's not exactly a career path for the ninja amongst the local demographic.
Have you looked at the job boards!? Ninja EVERYWHERE are out of work.
I just... ugh.
Unbelievable.
Bahahaha!!! Rhymes with foe...love it. :)
ReplyDeleteThat was hilarious!
