The Bug and The Drama Queen

Quiet please....Mini- me in progress

I have....or am in the process of creating a version of me.

*rolls her eyes*

a mini- me.

I have noticed lately all these little things that Bug does or says.....that I do.

He came up to me the other day while I was singing a song at the top of my lungs, and cleaning up the kitchen from our lunch.

I knew he had been talking to me while I was working....but if you have a 4 year old (or are around one).....then you know that they speak a mile and minute and have a VERY hard time keeping quiet.

So after the zillionth question you tend to tune them out and learn their "tones" to know weather it warrants your undivided attention.... or not (as in most cases lol)

Anyway I guess he has caught on to the fact that mommy isn't quite paying him the attention he is expecting as he asks......

yet another question.

So in he marches in to the kitchen with his hands on his hips....

And says in this no-nonsense tone (imitating my tone when I get frustrated)

"mommy....when I talk....you listen....understand?"

My singing stops and I stare in horror......

no.

please no.

flashback to the day before when I am trying to explain to him why he can't scold his sister...and he is so busy watching her and making sure she isn't touching any of his cars...hopping from one foot to the other..trying to talk over me at his sister. I use that line all the time.

"mommy are you listening to me? When I am talking.....you listen. Do you need to clean out your ears?"

quick side note: If you know me, or have been around my family.....you already know that this is a line I am famous for if the kids are having a hard time following direction.....funny thing is...I've never had to do it. But it seems to get his attention whenever I say it....so hey! When I do clean out his ears I normally call it "tickling"....so he hasnt associated the 2 yet! o.k back to story..

"what Bug? I'm sorry...mommy couldn't hear you cause I was singing"

"I saaaaiiiidddd.......stop singing so I can talk."

I try very hard not to roll my eyes at this point since I have noticed he too is picking up this habit.

"o.k bug...I stopped...what do you want?" ( I suddenly realize we are both standing in the exact same postion with our feet apart and hands at our hips a scowl between our brows)

"Come here I said......when I say come here your supposed to come remember?"

flashback to that morning when I said the exact same thing after calling him 15 times to come to breakfast.

Oh no.

*shakes her head*

"honey I didnt hear you...I'm sorry. I'm listening now....what were you saying"

"I saaaiiidd...banana's aren't for boys...they are bad for my teeth right? Only girls like banana's"

And this begins another interesting conversation that Bug has started because he doesn't want to eat his banana and knows he has to.

So you see ladies and gentlemen...

we need absolute silence

the project is about complete.

MUAHAHAHA HA HA HA HA HA.
