For the love of juice

My darling girl channeled her inner Kari Ann Peniche and pouted like a spoiled z-list celebrity this morning when I refused to pour her an overly large cup of orange juice. She was so upset with me, she refused to touch the offending cup of only a little juice, choosing to give it nasty looks instead.

Then she pushed it away from her in disgust.

That's when she realized she had an audience.

And her beauty-queen persona took over.
Yes, this is the girl who said to me today, "Mom, you fuhgod you camwah. How you gonna take my pictuh?" How indeed.

    This story is so familiar! I find it hard to be upset with them at this age, all they have to do is this and we forget! Just wait a few years!

  • Christie

    Umm let's NEVER introduce our children. They would becomes fast friends and then take over the world. That's just too much of a scary thought!

  • Kelly Miller

    @Christie - It is scary. That's what you call master manipulation.

    @Dalia - Very true. I can't stay upset with her for long. She's a hustler!

    Priceless!! How do they know about performing for an audience at such a young age? It couldn't possibly be because we egg them on, could it?? No way.

  • Kelly Miller

    I know, Amber. I know. I'm really bad for it with both kids. I love to laugh with (at) them and they are such hams!

    It always amazes me how they can be so cute at this age, when they're so cranky:)

  • Kelly Miller

    No, she's not camera shy at all. We relived the juice fight at dinner tonight. Orange juice has caused the most fights in this house!

  • ChefDruck

    That is too funny! And I love how you captured it all. The sign of a truly great blogger is one who doesn't let a little tantrum go uncaptured!
