SHUT UP

Oh, to be 2 and not have a care in the world. You go through your day watching Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Dora, have some snacks, take a nap, maybe watch a little more Dora. At some point in time in your day you hear one of your cats meowing at the back door NON STOP. Your mother get's a little irritated by the incessant meowing and yells at said cat to "SHUT UP!". Wow....those words were really loud! She was really mad! She made the cat to what she wanted him to do by yelling those 2 words at him! I'M SO USING THAT PHRASE!!!
This has been my household over the past month. Lil miss thang thinks that if she doesn't want to do something she can tell you to 'Shut....up!' I don't want to wake up - 'Shut...up!'. I don't want to go bye bye - 'Shut...up!'. I don't want to eat that - 'Shut...up!'.
I never knew shut up had so many uses until the small one started in on it.
The hammer of justice has come down on the small one. She has a time out chair that has come in QUITE handy lately.
She thinks she's sly tho. Now instead of yelling shut up...if she feels like she wants to say it but knows she'll get in trouble for it we get it in whisper form now 'shut up...shut up....shut up'
I wish I could be carefree and 2 again :)
