The Queen

Drew woke up on the wrong side of the bed. This is the conversation we had at 6:40 this morning.

Drew: Can I watch TV?

Me: When you're ready for school. You need to have your shoes on, teeth brushed, and eye exercises done.

Drew: UGH! Why do I have to do my eye exercises? I HATE that!

Me: Sorry. It will only take you 15 minutes and you'll still have time to watch TV afterward. Bring me the ball for you first exercise.

Drew: Why do I always have to do EVERYTHING?! You never do anything! Do you think YOU'RE THE QUEEN OR SOMETHING?!

Me: In that case, you can spend some time in your room adjusting the way you speak to me. I'm going to have my breakfast.

I want everyone reading to understand that I in no way condone this behavior. However, it does make me laugh to think about it. It's funny to me because I understand it. I know what it feels like to be so sensitive and emotional. I know what it feels like to think that your mom does nothing for you and is only there to make your life more difficult. I knew I would have a kid similar to me in this way. I just didn't think it would be my son.
