She just pitched a complete footstompingarmsgoingup&downamileaminutescreamingatthetopofherlungs hissy fit.
Because it was BedTime! and I wouldn't let her put her book in the right pile on her shelf and organize all of the other books that were laying on the floor.
What have I done to my child???
And then shetotally suckered me into letting her stay up for a few more minutes engaged me in an absolutely fascinating and irresistible conversation.
Thing5 "Will you pleeeeesssssase lay with me for a few minutes?
*Me "You're a Big.Girl. Don't you want to go lay down in your bed like a Big.Girl?
Thing5 "No cause I don't wanna be all alone."
*Me "But you're never all alone cause Jesus is always with you."
Thing5 "But no he's not there right now."
*Me "I promise he's always there. No matter what."
Thing5 "Well I think he went down to my stomach for a little while."
And then proceeded to say...
"Jesus is the Best.Ever! And so is God! and I think he has sharp claws. Sharp claws that give you claw kisses. Oooh sharp claw teeth that give you claw teeth kisses. Like sharks. But not like the real sharks that eat you but like the nice sharks who talk and they don't eat you cause they like Sharkboy and Lavagirl."
*Me "Hmmm.... I'm just not sure about all that."
And then becauseI am a.complete.sucker my SuperMommyStayingPowers were weakened by such blatant adorability, I admitted defeat and when we were all snugglied together she looked up at me and whispered very softly "I love you mommy soooooooo much!"
Because a (notSO) SuperMommy knows it's easier to pick your battles.
And some battles are just worth losing ;)
