Mom Is...

Last night the girls were getting in trouble at bed time.  They were being loud and doing something that mom didn't think was okay.  So, I opened the door and told them to stop.  Of course, that didn't last very long, as right after I shut the door and I could hear them whispering doing the same thing.  I opened the door and when they gasped that I had caught them in the "act", I told them that Mom's know everything.

 

Melanie says something like, "Not really.  No one is magical and knows and sees everything."

So, of course, I set her straight and informed her that mom's are.

 

I left. But, unfortunately, I had to come back a few times, which ended them up in trouble... 

 

Jump to this morning.  This morning I walked into the bathroom to find that Melanie had made a huge toothpaste mess that not only included the sink, but extended to the floor.  To say I was frustrated and annoyed would be an understatement.  I decided that I'm NOT cleaning this mess, because I was done being the maid.  So, I expressed this to Melanie. 

 

I asked her if I look like her personal slave, because I'm not her maid.  She asks what a maid is.  I tell her it's someone that cleans up after someone else.

 

Melanie says "like Cinderella".  

 

I said "yes, do I look like Cinderella?"

 

To which Noelle so thoughtfully replies, "Not at night.  At night she turns into Santa Clause.  She knows and sees everything"
