A Shopping Day From Heck

Day 164: My daughter says today was a good day because we've been experiencing so much difference of opinion lately. However, the shopping excursion with her and my grand daughter was an out of body experience for me. Because I was not sure what alien had taken over my "baby girl" and turned her into one of those children other people talk about.

In fact, it was so traumatic for me that I was willing to break my fast to have a cup of Starbucks. You must know that I love my grand baby and she actually is like my twin. When I step she steps and she calls my name at least 100 times a day. When I'm working in my home office I have to lock the door to keep her out. Only to have her sit outside and say "open door Meme open door." I simply adore her even though I sometimes feel like I'm raising a child again because she literally stays in my space.

But Meme's "little princes" worked every nerve I had so much that I turned into one of those people who spanks their child in the store. People were looking at me as she screamed bloody murder for all of 30 seconds. She then proceeded to start the same behavior over again, and again, and again. Today we were the family whom people whisper about because the child is clearly running things. She even told me I was not being nice for spanking her and needed to go to "time out." What???

To be clear the "little princess" turned alien is two years and two months old. All I could think about in the car ride home is that we're all suppose to be on a plane together in November. I'm not sure when my daughter lost control or when the Meme stare stopped being a threat. As I looked in on her tonight she looks like a little angel sleeping.

However, I know the truth and that alien is going to get an exorcism.
