Adrianna and I cleaned up the loft/playroom a little bit this afternoon in anticipation of Greg’s plan to begin installing some adjustable custom shelves into the closet.
After we got the floor picked up, Adrianna flounced back into the room, eyes opened wide for emphasis, and told me in a serious voice, “Now I’d better not see any more toys on the floor. If I see any more toys…”
She paused for a quick moment, probably thinking about how she could threaten me, her mother, since she can’t really send her mom to time-out or otherwise make up a punishment for me. Meanwhile, I was eagerly waiting in anticipation to see where her threat was going to go.
She then finished her statement, as threatening and as serious as before, with, “…then I will pick them up.”
Now that’s a threat I can live with!
Ha! That girl’s a trip and a half.
I think she’s making a connection! 🙂
