Today, the tyrannical streak in my little girl reached an all time high.
We were walking along the driveway. Turtle was tromping through every lowish, muddy spot in her yellow boots.
I was walking beside her, avoiding said spots.
Turning to me she said firmly, "Mommy, walk 'is way. 'Is way!" She was pointing at the ground where she was standing -- the pothole with the squishy mud.
I stared at her, wondering if I was misunderstanding. "No, honey, Mommy's walking right here."
"Nooo! 'Is way!! Mommy, walk."
Is this really happening??
Am I being told where to WALK now??
