Ellie had a rough day yesterday and by midmorning had lost all of her TV and access to her dance and swim classes. I wanted to give her a chance for redemption (for both the day and herself) but first I wanted to make sure she understood why she had lost her privileges.
Me: "Ellie, do you understand why you've lost TV and dance and swim?"
Ellie: "Yes Mom. You're like a rattlesnake."
Me: "I'm.. what?"
Ellie: "You warn me and warn me and warn me and then you BITE."
I mean, she's not wrong...
Also, her day perked up considerably after that conversation. As did mine ;)
