....'but I didn't KNOW because no one SPELLED IT OUT EXACTLY and I don't have even half an atom of common sense in my dazed little head anywhere!'...
ROFL!! Yeah that is exactly what I get from her when things go South...suddenly this brilliant child turns into a stubborn simpleton & she will NOT see reason. People who are unreasonable drive me absolutely batty. When it's my own kid, I just feel doubly crazy because she is after all MY kid and I am sure if I just keep spouting logic, surely I will trigger the reasonable genes she got from me & everything will be alright. That never happens.
It's harder for me too, 'cause basically I am a single parent. Greg is a stepdad...he really can't & shouldn't be involved in discipline. So it's all me, & she knows it, & she is like any human animal in that we all instinctually test the limits from time to time. Ohhh...SO exhausting though. Seriously I need a vacation.
I'm glad you like the dragon & yes, she is a pretty one isn't she? She really almost could have eyelashes. ^_^
