As I’ve done every day for the past few weeks, I ruined my elder daughter’s life this afternoon by not buying her an mp3-player. Though she’s unable to come up with a single compelling reason for having one, she assures me that her interest has nothing–NOTHING, I say–to do with all of her friends having them. It’s just, you know, that mp3-players are “the best thing in life,” and if I weren’t “the worstest mother in the world,” I’d face that fact and buy one for my kid.
On the plus side, I did have a great piece of pecan pie today.
Heh – and I thought *I* was the worst mom in the whole world because I won’t let my daughter have a TV set in her room! Guess we’re finalists for the bad mommy award.
(I remember a co-worker of mine telling me what she said when her son accused of being the worst mom in the whole world, “Actually, I came in second last year but I’m hoping to win soon!”)
LOL! She looks close to exploding in that photo.
