As we’ve both been struck down with a stomach bug for a few days which is possibly the result of consuming too many Easter eggs has come completely out of the blue, I’ve made no effort to come up with a unique idea for a blog post. Instead I’ve stolen the idea for this post from NotSupermum who recently wrote about the things she has said to her daughters this week.
In my defence, Your Honor, I did write a post previously along the same lines, although it was probably stolen from someone else too.
As listing the things I’ve said to my daughter this week would result in a repetitive list involving such statements as no you can’t have chocolate for breakfast, I’m listing the things my daughter has said to me this week instead.
- You’re not my mother
- I don’t want you be scared mummy but I think I can see some teenagers
- Who is Kate Middleton?
- Is Santa watching?
- I think you should have two husbands
- I’d rather go and play at Granny and Grandpa’s house
- Can I borrow your bank account details?
- I am the boss
- I don't think I should be watching Britney Spears
- I’ve written my Christmas list
It’s clearly a mother-daughter relationship based on mutual love and respect, not one where one seven-year-old girl thinks she knows best and is under the impression she is in charge.
