As I sit here tonight drinking wine, eating chocolate that I've raided from my daughters' yet to be made Easter baskets, I wonder...when did I lose the upper hand?
I just acted like a complete idiot trying to get my child to fall asleep. First I ignored her, until she upped the ante to licking my cheek. Next I was stern with her and told her it was time for bed. She cried even louder, then rolled around the bed laughing like a lunatic. Finally, and this is where I question my sanity...I PRETENDED to be ASLEEP. What is wrong with me? What kind of grown woman pretends to be asleep to hide from her 2 year old daughter???
Do other parents actually do this, too? No matter what she did, I played possum. She pulled my hair, I was asleep. She pretended to be a cat, I was asleep. She picked my nose, I was asleep. The crazy thing was...it worked.
By the way, chocolate covered Peeps are the bomb.
