Talked a bit about Stocks recently and what mine looked like. Gave a little insight as to from where *I* came. It really shouldn’t come to any surprise then that with each day that adds to Lil Duck’s age so too does she increase her Sass quotient.
While getting ready for a bath the other night…it went something like this:
“Lil Duck, go ahead and take your shoes and pants off. I’ll help with your shirt. Lets get ready for your bath.”
“Why don’t you take your face off, Mom!”
Hmmm….yeah…..okay….. I had to laugh, she was giggling too.
She was having an especially difficult time following directions one afternoon so I took her distractions away which amounted to me removing the toys in her possession. While doing this I said, “Lil Duck. You obviously can not hear me with these in your hands. Now, turn your ears on and listen to me please.”
Flipping her hair back from her ears, “But MOM! I do not have buttons on my ears!”
Or then there was the day she was goofing off in the parking lot at the grocery store and once in the car I gave her a stern talking to about following rules in a parking lot for safety and how important it is. The ENTIRE time I am speaking to her she is mocking and mimicking my facial expressions. I still can NOT believe this child is NOT EVEN THREE! HOLY HELL I AM IN TROUBLE!
Of course she does super sweet and funny stuff too! My most favorite as of late is when she is sitting on her potty chair, legs crossed at the ankles and singing Zippity Do Da.
What Tyrannical Three’s stories do you have to share? I have a feeling there will be MANY more to come from the pond…

The Girl just turned 4 in June. All I can say is that those white door handle child safety locks? She knows how to open them. And she taught The Boy to do it and he's 2.
Basically, I'm screwed.
Are you sure we don't have the same kid? except mine is about to be 6! That is too funny!
When our son was three he had speech therapy. One day when she was there he was looking out the window and said, "There goes my Papa with his weiner." The lady's eyes got huge. I then explained that the weiner was his dog!
One time Gene and I went to a company function where he worked. Big to do, ya know shirt and tie nice dress kind of event. They had a stand up comedian that was discussing why he loved our alphabet with its only 26 letters. How the Jewish alphabet contains no vowels and the Chinese alphabet was over 200 or more characters. Doug was about 5 sitting in the back seat said, " I wouldn't want to go to a Jewish school".
I asked why not.. he said " Well mom without any vowels you could get every answer right and still only get a B"
Touche' son touche'
What is the saying about the apple and the tree, Miss Sass? She gets it honestly and your parents are gonna laugh their asses off watching you get payback. Give her a big hug from the Coffeypot and a kiss on top of the head (head kisses like my grandkids get.)
LMAO at 'Take your face off, Mom'...hilarious. That's totally something my 10 year old would have said at that age. At least you know she'll keep life interesting!
Sass is at it's highest at 3. I've been thru it twice now - and seriously - the good and bad - write it all down. Blackmail for their angsty teen years.
I do believe you are in for it. I am too, we can help each other survive lol
You just wait. My niece just turned 10 and was sassy like that too. Now my sister is in fear of the fact that she has that much 'tude and isn't even hormonal yet! :)
Um yeah, forget the terrible twos. Three is the worst! Paige was just like Little Duck. And it just gets "better" as they get older. Oh hell the sass is never ending!
Oh Duck. You are in trouble, I can tell based on your snippets. Three? Three can be tough when you've got an independent woman on your hands. Or boy. Mine automatically responded "no" to any request followed by a lengthy explanation of why my request couldn't be granted. He gets an "A" for creativity. I'll give him that. But I hold the remote key to Max and Ruby, as well as having access to the chocolate snacks. Not ethical? Perhaps. But these are dangerous times, comrad.
I think it's a law anyway to get mad at super cute kids.
And take your face off...? Come on, I so wish I could do that! I'll take this one off when I go in the sun to put the wrinkled one on, then when I'm out of the sun, I'll put the wrinkle free one back on! Genius right!
I adore the toddler stage.
You are their whole world, I just adored it.
I miss those days when kids are young and innocent.
Yep, you have it coming! She is too funny. Good thing, it makes the challenges so much easier when they have a sense of humor! :)
Oh gosh! You have one hilarious kid!! And yes, you are in trouble ;)
