Remember this post? A more recent conversation:
Anna: Mom, I want a Bratz doll on my birthday list.
Me: No, Anna. I don’t like Bratz dolls.
Anna: Why?
Me: They just don’t look like they have Jesus in them. (Judgmental. Pharasaical. I know. It’s all I could pull out on such short notice.)
After this conversation, Anna did what all children do when one parent says no.
Anna: Dad, can I have a Bratz doll for my birthday?
Kris: Sure, honey.
Upon hearing this discourse from the living room, I inquired:
Me: Kris, what did Anna just ask you?
Kris: She said she wanted a rat dog for her birthday, and I told her okay.
The fact that Anna wants a Bratz doll no longer concerns me I’m now worried that her father would let her have a rat dog.
Dusty, that would be selective hearing, & it starts at an early age. You will need to combat this before it becomes ingrained as he ages. I know this from personal experience. The longer you wait, the worse it gets.
haha…typical dad with a daughter. 🙂 “Sure honey…”
I chuckled out loud.
My boys would have an easier time convincing me THEY want a doll before they can talk me into any kind of rat…or dog…or a hybrid thereof.
LOL! We don’t allow Bratz here either – but we do have a rat terrier – would that be a rat dog? Still LOL!
THAT IS TOO FUNNY!!@
Well I guess we are bad, becasue Jenna had several of the dolls and she also had one of the cars. I thinks Boo turned out alrght even with the dolls. I do agree with the selective listening comment. Say hey to Sharon for me. Also Jen & Kate.
LOL. By the way, what is a Rat Dog?
I love your blogs, they are sooo funny! Ha ha! ilu
Okay, that had me laughing. Really laughing.
LOI. As a dad, I can relate. I would have probably said it was ok for her to have both.
I’m still wondering what a Rat Dog is too??
TOOO FUNNY!
This is absolutely hilarious!!! I love it!
Sound just like my girls!
