Ridiculous
Today Landry and I were having a power struggle over who was going to pick up her toys. I told her that if she didn't pick them up (after asking about 4 times) that I would put them in the trash. She looked at me and said. 'OK...put them in the trash.' No tears, no emotion...nothing. I was like DANG IT! What am I going to do now! I said 'OK, do you really want me to put them in the trash?' and she said 'YES! In. The. Trash!' and started crying. I said 'Landry, you are being ridiculous!' Through her tears she said ' Mommy, what does ridiculous mean?!!' I started laughing uncontrollably and all of the sudden she did too. It was just a hilarious moment that started out badly and ended up in a fit of laughter. I wish all unpleasant moments could end that way cause Lord knows we're going to have our share of them in the coming years. The good part...she picked up her toys and put them away and hugged and kissed me to boot!
