“Mom, why am I wearing this shirt?”
“Because I picked it out and it’s cute.”
“But I wore it last week! I can’t wear it again.”
“Mom, I wanna be Edward Scissorhands for Halloween.”
“The movie scared you, Audrey, why would you want to be him for Halloween?”
“I’m not thinking of the movie, Mom, I’m thinking of the costume.”
5 minutes later, she said, “I don’t want to be Edward. Nina can be Edward Scissorhands.”
She got in trouble at school for telling her teachers “no,” so I sat her down for a heart-to-heart. I basically said that she couldn’t tell her teachers, parents or grandparents “no.” She said, “ok, Mom,” then left the room. She returned 5 minutes later and said, “I can say ‘Thanks, but No….?”
I replied, “Only when the request is food-related.”
