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.
