I was putting Calista to bed and got lost in my reverie as I waited for her to calm down and be in the mood for bed. I lay behind her and thought "this is such a precious time...to be with my little one as she slowly drifts off to sleep, when almost all is well in our world and we are happy.."
the warm fuzzy feelings prompted me to sing "you are my sunshine..my second sunshine.." in the softest, gentlest tones I could muster.
I came crashing back to reality when Calista said "Torp." She repeated herself and that was when the word broke through to my consciousness.
"StoP???! You want mama to stop?"
She chuckled at my mock offense and proceeded to show me her palm while repeating the offending word -_-
Growing understandably disgruntled as she tried to needle me for a reaction, I decided to ignore her command and tried to restart the song, but she rudely began humming her own tune and added insult to injury by saying
"torp.....Daaaaddy..Daaaaadddy?"
Children can be the most unappreciative ungrateful creatures on earth.
