So what?

Exactly what am I supposed to do when my littlest Sg says "Yeah , so what?" (with attitude in her voice)! I'm still trying not to snicker, knowing full well that she was asserting herself in those brief moments. She had been in the restroom for a while and I quietly opened the door. What I saw was littlest Sg covered in toilet paper! This is how the conversation went:
"What are you doing?" I asked. She looks at me, sheepishly, and says "wiping".
"Do you think you need all that paper?" I asked. Before she can really reply, I continue..
"You will stop up the toilet if you try to put all that in there!"
Then I get the comment I couldn't believe! "yeah, so what!"
This was not a question; it was a statement. I stood there not knowing what I was supposed to do next. I turned her around and said "If that toilet overflows I'm going to be very upset at you." Her response, "Ok, Momma."
I think I'll let her overflow it the next time. She would absolutely die! Maybe that will teach her why we don't put an entire roll of TP in the toilet!

What about when they say "You've got to be kidding me, Mom!" That's what #4 did here last week. I told her to get ready to go and she said "you've got to be kidding me, mom!" Isn't three a great age? :) Love the blog! How did you set this up? Email me about it.
Love ya!

Mine does the same thing with the TP and she HAS overflowed the toilet. What tipped me off was the blood curdling scream followed by the uncontrolable sobbing!! She was a little scarred I think. If you think about it could you remember my friend Ruthie in your prayers? She is the one who adopted the two kids from Russia and this past Nov had a baby. Her mom just found out that her breast cancer is back~all over her body. I saw Ruthie at dance class and she is devastated to say the least! Love ya, Jennifer
