Maura has been doing her own laundry for a few weeks now. From time to time an odd shirt or errant sock will still find its way into the loads I'm washing. Yesterday...
Me (tossing Maura a sock): Here. Will you go put this away?
Maura: A sock? Master has given Dobby a sock? Dobby is FREE!
Schatz is a sassy six year old. She is a handful. "Schatz" (Shot-zee) is a German endearment like honey or sweetie.
Early on I decided that I had two options with this child. I could get frustrated with her when she is sassy or bossy; or I could recognize the humor in the situation, grab a pen, and write it down. I chose the latter. Yes, this is real. No, this is not an exaggeration.
In the spirit of fair parenting, I've started peppering this blog with the funny things that my older daughter says and does. You can't make this stuff up!
Clever girl! Hilarious!
