Ellie's rough day

I just asked Ellie if she would help me unload the dishwasher. She looked at me with an exasperated look and explained, "I've had a hard day mom. I'm just too sad."

Nice try sweetie! These would be the contents of Ellie's "hard" day:

8 am Wake up for the day, eat some breakfast, watch a show . . .

9:45 Leave for playgroup. Pay in the water, run around with her buddies, eat snacks, get naked. . .

11:40 Head home

12 pm Kenzie and Kade come over for lunch and bring McDonald's. Run around, scream, make a mess, spill bubbles all over the entire floor, slam a few doors, take every book out of the book shelf, lock Kade out of every room, get completely naked (AGAIN), play dress up, take a few bites of food, blow some bubbles in soda, jump on furniture, fight over shoes. . .

2:30 Kade and Kenzie leave. Take a nap.

5 pm Wake up. Go over to Natalie's next door and play some more. . .

6:30 Mom asks you to empty the dishwasher. Insist you've had a hard day and tell mom you're sad. Cry when this gets you put in time out for not doing your chores.

Now you're really sad.
