Parenting success: When your 10 year old zings you with sarcasm. 😊
So, I'm pitching a proper fit about having to run out to the grocery store at the last minute before dinner for a missing ingredient (regardless of the fact that I was just at the store that morning- and the day before-twice)...
Me: "Gah!!!!! I can't believe I have to go to the store AGAIN!!! Ahhhhh!!! Stupid store. I am ALWAYS at the dumb store. Bah!!! Crap!!! NOOooooo!!!!! Dang it!!!!! Dang!!! DANG!!!! AHH!!!!!"
Ben, completely straight faced: "But at least you're being a good sport about it."
It honestly made me laugh so hard that it turned my mood right around. It was so perfectly delivered. So spot on. I laughed all the way to the store and back again. I tell you laughter really is the best medicine.
Looking at the picture above makes me laugh too. I wanted to capture Ben's straightfaced delivery but he was so pleased with how much he made me laugh that he couldn't stop smiling. I think he had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep himself from smiling and laughing. Funny kid.

LOL :) Too cute :) Glad he was able to "defuse" the situation and turn a frown into a smile :)
betty
I do treasure those days. What a good friend you have.
My sister is 13 and does exactly this kind of thing. It's always so disarming and hilarious.
