We are in for some trouble!!!
Our church youth is doing some babysitting at the church on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the month of June to earn money for a mission trip. So I took the kids today so I could get some things done without the kids. When I picked the kids up we were driving home....
Mallory said to me "my teachers were mean". (Knowing the two teens and the adult that were in her class I knew this was probably not the case.)
So I said "They were, why?"
Mallory: "Because she said sit down, sit down, SIT DOWN!"
Me: "Well were you listening to your teachers?"
Mallory: "Yes, but they just kept saying sit down really mean and that hurts my feelings"
Me: "Well Mallory sometimes if you are not listening to your teachers they have to use a firm voice to let you know they want you to listen"
Mallory: "Well I don't like it and it makes me sad. And you are making me mad right now because you are not being responsible to my reaction!"
Me: SPEECHLESS!!!
I was trying not laugh because she was sassing me with some attitude but using such big words and trying to use them in the right context. If she can articulate her feelings this good now...I am scared and praying for the teen years. She keeps us on our toes, but is always good for laugh!
