On parenting style:
While watching Rosanne on Nick at Night.
Peppermist: She’s so funny!
Me: I know. I model my parenting after her.
Peppermist: I see the resemblance!
Me: wait! (mock shock) Are you calling me FAT?
Peppermist: Nope. A bitch!
Me: … (laughing) well played, daughter o’mine! Well played!
Oh how I love that snarky kid!
(And if you’re new enough to be concerned that my daughter called me a bitch – don’t be. *L* Stick around, read a bit. You’ll learn.)
