daily dose of the drama queen
This is gonna be one of those days, with the kids. They have done nothing but snipe at each other since they got out of bed. This sort of thing doesn't happen often -- really those two are just crazy about each other -- but when it does happen, it REALLY happens. The Drama Queen just punched her brother in the chest. Hard. So he's crying, she's lying on her bed having just been given a perfunctory swat on the bottom and a week's restriction (from videos, bicycles, and friends coming over). On her way to her bed she wailed, "You have just ruined my life!!" You'd think she was fifteen, not five.
OK, I just pictured that -- the drama queen at fifteen -- and I think I need to go lie down....
updated to add:
Instead of her usual "This is definitely not my day," she just informed me that "this is definitely not my life." Oh, my dear little DQ. We all think that sometimes.
