Yesterday afternoon, while I was trying to do some paperwork, Maddie REALLY wanted my attention. “Mom, can you help me build a fort? Mom can you play a game with me? Mom can you watch a movie with me?”
Getting rather impatient (because I hate paperwork and really wanted to get it over with without further interruptions), I said “Maddie, I just don’t have time right now. You’re going to have to find something to do that doesn’t involve interrupting me.”
A few moments later came her reply. “Mom, I’ve found something to do that doesn’t involve interrupting you. It’s being MAD at you.”
