The following A**Hole in One story was sent
from my friend, Rebekah following a heated bedtime battle with her three year
old daughter, Milli.
The other night as
we were trying our very hardest to get our daughter, Milli, who has the
extraordinary ability to grin and ignore every single direction, request, or
plea from her parents, ready for bed, we had this very special episode:
Me: Milli, come in
the bathroom it is time to go potty and brush your teeth.
Milli: ( Sings
and dances in the hallway)
Me: Milli, it is
time to get ready for bed.
Milli: (Sings,
dances, grins in the hallway).
Me: Milli, if you
do not come here and get ready for bed, we will not read Puff the Magic Dragon
tonight.
Milli: (Sings,
dances, grins and begins to roll on the floor clearly showing me there will be a battle should I try to
physically bring her in the bathroom).
Me: Okay, you
lost Puff.
Milli: YOU ARE
THE WORSTEST MOTHER EVER! I WILL NEVER HUG YOU AGAIN! YOU ARE NOT THE BESTEST!
YOU ARE THE MEANEST! I WILL NEVER PLAY WITH YOU AGAIN! THESE ARE NOT THE COMFIEST
PAJAMAS! AND I WILL NOT SNUGGLE! YOU ARE THE WORST SNUGGLER EVER! I'M GOING TO
THROW EVERYTHING IN THE GARBAGE!!!!! DADDYYYYYYYY MOMMY IS THE WORSTEST!!!!!
Daddy: (Comes
upstairs from the hockey game) Milli, what is the matter? Did you
cooperate?
Milli: Yes, Daddy.
But, Mommy whined at me.
Daddy: Do you
want to read Puff?
Milli: (The
following said in the most sugary sweet voice) Yes, you can read it to me! I
looooove Puff!! He is the bestest dragon ever! I love my comfy pajamas! They
are my favorite! I love to snuggle! Do you want to snuggle, daddy?
I watch, sitting
on the toilet, tooth brush in hand, in exhaustion and amazement as the little
darling skips out the door with daddy.
