"I want you in your room right. Now."
"Ugh! You don't love me!"
"Oh, yes, I love you very, very much. But right now, I'm not liking you a whole lot. But make no mistake about it, I love you. In fact, no matter how hideously you behave, if you were rolling your eyes at me on a train track and you were about to be run over, I would still push you out of the way. Even as the train rolled over me, crushing my body against the rails, I would still love you and be glad that it was me and not you. But I would be really bitter about it."

You're the best mom ever.
Did you set up video surveillance in my house? I had this conversation just last week when my son accused me of wishing he wasn't alive when I was pissed at him about his grades.
And off to their room they went ... can't argue with a mom squished on the train tracks.
This cracked me up!
I believe it has all the makings of a good country song.
Mom on, J.
Ha ha ha. Is it wrong that I'm taking notes?
-andi
Hee hee! I LOVE that!
You rock. ;)
Was this followed by stamping up the stairs and slamming the door?
Yes, I do think someone should set these words to music.
And you ARE the best mom, ever.
You would totally be justified in coming back and haunting them.
Truly, you made even sick me laugh out loud. :)
Yeah, I know EXACTLY how you feel.
Oh my goodness, yes. Exactly.
I think I need to call my mom
"...and you still have to go to your room."
I love this...LMAO!!!
That was hilarious and EXACTLY what I needed at that moment.
Mommy, is that you???? :)
*gaffaw*!!
I told my daughter once 'I would die for you.' and she retorted 'Well so would I!!!!' to which I replied 'No you wouldn't, you are not allowed to'
'OK, you win' and she went to her room.
(Snort!) Love it! Sounds like my evening. I came into my office to find my PRECIOUS 3 year old had painted my computer monitor with nail polish, and permanent marker. Hubby was suppose to be watching her.... GRRRRRRRR!
But I do love her...
"... and before I died I would ground you for the next month, because I love you."
It's the bitter about it that counts. Otherwise, you're a pushover.
My mom always used to say "I'll always love you, but I don't always like you. And right now, I don't like you."
If my teen daughter were doing the eye-rolling thing? And the train were coming? I think I would at least hesitate for a second before I risked my life for hers. Just a second...
Oh yeah, I'd be bitter too. But would still push her out of the way. Chooooo, chooooo.
I tried this with my five year old last night when she was being stubborn and snarky.
It didn't work.
Any other ideas??? ;)
Ha Ha! That was great.
I've had some tired-mom doozies...
Oh I am so using this someday.
Oh yeah, I just had that conversation - that's why I'm getting to catch up on blogs.
