This morning, Navy said, “Mom, I have a deal for you.”
I was game.
She continued on…”If you want me to stop picking my nose and eating my boogers, you need to get me two cakes that say ‘Navy Stopped!’”.
I really want that, so I agreed that I would.
But then I asked if we could include her to stop biting her nails in that deal.
When she thought too long, I quickly included a third cake in the deal.
She said, “No…That would be for four cakes.”
This girl drives a hard bargain, but it was still worth it to me.
And then I pressed my luck.
I said, “Okay….four cakes that say ‘Navy Stopped!’ for you to stop picking your nose and eating your boogers, and stop biting your nails, and stop biting your toenails.”
(Did you see that I added in a little extra for my benefit?)
To which she responded, “Mom…that would be impossible.”
And then, “Do you want the deal or not?”
So I immediately stuck out my hand to shake on it.
I guess I’ll take what I can get.
