A scenario from this morning:
Lainey and Walker were what the librarian deemed as "having fun" (translate that to "being totally crazy") at the library this morning. After asking Lainey not to forcefully push the rocking chair back and forth, I told her that if she wanted to continue to be near the rocking chairs she had to use them correctly. So she puts her little bottom in the chair and starts forcefully rocking herself back and forth and talking loudly (and of course now Walker is trying to do it too because of his big-sister-copy-cat syndrome). This causes me to look at her and say in my best listen-to-me-now voice, "Lainey. Please don't forget where you are." (As in, remember that you are in the library. So act responsibly and shush.) She responded with, "Ok. I won't... But Mom, I'm just right here." (As in, duh, Mom..I won't forget where I am.)
And...I give up. :)
Each trip to the library (and there have been many) results in me wanting to pull my hair out and my kids acting like they've been raised by a family of apes. This time was no exception!

This post had me laughing out loud! Poor boy, I hope he's cured of that awful syndrome soon (or maybe I should wish for Lainey to suddenly become the best behaved, most prim and proper 3 1/2 year old young lady you've ever seen)! Hehe. She is one funny chic!
